If humans are social creatures and extroverts are better adapted to social environments, then from an evolutionary perspective, why do introverts exist? The answer is nature. Introverts are quieter and listen better. Over evolutionary time, introverts have made for better hunters. You might find that bouts of time spent in nature make social time more manageable.

An interesting perspective. I am interested in evolution; specifically evolution of consciousness.

As far as time spent in nature: I live in a home with a quarter-acre lot. Now that it's not so blazing hot, the dogs and I go out most afternoons and enjoy the backyard. Not much blooming right now, but lots of greenery and a variety of plants. Small lizards and chameleons abound. Also snakes, mostly black snakes, but I did see a red rat snake awhile back. I saw a praying mantis last week, which I've never seen before. I got my camera to snap some pix, and it started doing this subtle movement that resembled a leaf moving in a slight breeze – very clever camouflage. Assorted bird species nest in the trees. And then there was that bear that decided to have a rest in the side yard just outside my bedroom window a couple weeks ago... It's been so hot this year that none of the pineapple plants fruited; maybe next year. I am planning on starting the winter garden this week. So yeah, a lot of life going on out there.
