Do I think it was inherent nobility that brought us out here?_ He shook his head. __aybe. I don__ call it nobility, though. I think it__ our innate human need to champion the underdog. We are constant optimists. We__e the emotional descendents of the caveman who stood defiant in the front of the wooly mammoth. We rebuild cities at the base of Vesuvius, get back on the bicycle when we fall off, whack that hornet__ nest every spring. Humans cheer for the couldn__ be, believe in the shouldn__ be. We love causes; the harder, the more lost they are, the more we love them. Is that nobility?Maybe. Maybe it__ a pernicious genetic defect that makes our species susceptible to shared delusion. Whatever it is, it keeps life interesting.
