Combined, they provide an explanation for why, in most species including our own, males compete with each other for access to females — the most val

The evolutionary biologist Robert Trivers was the first to identify the adaptive significance of self-deception and its connection to deception. As he insightfully notes in his book The Folly

Self-deception is favored when opponents have imperfect information about their strengths and weaknesses, and where the payoffs are high

physical health benefits, including evidence that distorted optimism can slow disease progression. Positive illusions are, as noted by the biologists Richard Wrangham, Robert Trivers, and Dominic Johnson, a form of self-deception with considerable evolutionary benefits. But like the runaway capacity of desire, so t
