Why Chosen
By showing how our behavior is affected by so many factors, some even dating back thousands of years, it works both ways in judging ourselves and others. Knowing that someone's bad behavior is not their fault, we tend to forgive them, at least passing the initial reactionary phase. It also makes us twice to give too much credit to someone for their achievements.
