So, if a T-Rex and you happened to be on the same field...well, you might just have survived thanks to this mechanism.
But let's not put all our eggs in one basket.
However, the problem is that we don't need this much fuel and we hardly ever find ourselves in situations in which our lives are threatened in the manner described above.
Once upon a time, your boss might have wanted to attack you violently simply because you left his leather shorts for too long in the sun. These days, you're more likely to be threatened by unpleasant talk involving how to cope with your large mortgage amid recession and redundancy.
So, you do get anxious and experience a degree of stress but there is no physical challenge through which you can vent your excess energy. Sleepless nights are more likely.
It's no wonder, then, that we've developed so many different types of anxiety.
For instance, we have Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Social Anxiety.
Social Anxiety was in fact a huge problem for the famous physicist Cavendish who, even though he was brilliant in his discoveries and humanity, took another half-century to rediscover what he already knew. He wasn't even given credit for the large percentage of these discoveries. The reason: his fear of communicating with people. He even talked to his house-keeper via letters - never in person. It's not surprising that his work went unnoticed.
When under panic attack, we experience a series of unpleasant feelings: chest pains, a worryingly-strong heart-beat, hot flushes, and so on. Also, we all have different things that trigger such conditions, whether that be crossing a river on a footbridge or even while having a haircut.
Generally, every human being is like a window: if you throw too many heavy stones you will crack or break that window.
Of course, we're not talking here about stones in the literal sense but more about them as being stressful events or upsetting thoughts which can weaken our protection.
But no matter what we decide to do with our problem, the important thing is to realise that only we are in charge of the most sophisticated and intelligent computer known to man - the human brain.
We are that mysterious program writer that is capable of such beautiful dreams and in the same time such terrifying nightmares. Sometimes all we need is just one extra maintenance technique to turn things around.
