Adaptive Instinct

When an organism enters a new environment, that organism undergoes physiological changes so that it is better suited to it's surroundings. This process supports our wellbeing in many ways other than survival. It is known as adaptation and allows ourselves to thrive on a constantly changing planet.
In today's world we are more dependent on psychological changes that allow ourselves to blend in with social groups. These adaptations serve to establish a self-identity and association to people we can relate to.
