=== Evolutionary mechanisms are maladaptive and can become adaptive. Being in distress can cause brain functioning to tech itself and how to be in a calmer state of mind when the comforting tool isn't there. For instance, when a parent of a cub is looking for food the parent tells the cub to stand still and wait for them to come back. The cub can get distress and start to call for its parent which channels the hypothalamic pituitary axis to trigger and develop a more mature axis that helps the cub to cope. ===
