"Evolutionary Barriers to Solving Climate Change"

Researchers studying human evolution in the context of climate change found that while humans have a track record of solving problems, our evolutionary traits may hinder efforts to address climate change on a global scale. The study emphasizes the need for truly global solutions, as our past problem-solving approaches may not be sufficient for the current environmental crisis. Additionally, the researchers highlight the necessity of addressing human competitiveness and conflict in order to ensure long-term survival, pointing towards the development of systems of self-limitation and market regulation as potential solutions.
