DANGER

Since conscience emerged in humans, many hundreds of thousands years ago, the sense of danger was an important part of it.

Managing the ubiquitous danger was a condition for survival and life propagation. Quite obviously, humans have been good (too good ?) at managing danger in their daily life.
