Flock or pack behaviour explains why the great apes, our closest biological relatives, have close families.

떼 혹은 무리 행동은 왜 우리의 가장 가까운 생물학적 친척인 대형 유인원이 긴밀한 가족을 갖는지 설명한다. 

 

There is also evidence to suggest that ancestral forms of human beings, such as Australopithecus, who lived in Africa two to four million years ago, and more recently their distant descendants, the Neanderthals, also lived in family groups.

또한, 200만~400만년 전에 아프리카에서 살았던, ‘오스트랄로피테쿠스’와 같은 인류의 조상과, 더 최근에는 그들의 먼 후손인 네안데르탈인도 가족 집단을 이루어 살았음을 암시하는 증거도 있다. 

 

Ultimately, it’s down to Darwin and evolution: herding is an essential survival instinct.

결국, 그것은 무리를 짓는 것은 필수적인 생존 본능이라는 다윈과 진화에 의한 것이다. 

 

It’s especially important if, as a species, you have evolved a larger brain as your means of survival, rather than thick skin, ferocious claws or teeth.

종으로서, 두꺼운 피부, 사나운 발톱 혹은 이빨보다는 더 큰 뇌를 생존의 수단으로 진화시켰다면, 그것은 특히 중요하다. 

 

Thanks to evolution, our bodies are remarkably flexible, and are good at putting the brain’s ideas into practice.

진화 덕분에 우리의 몸은 놀랄만큼 유연하고, 뇌의 생각을 실행에 옮기는 데 능숙하다. 

 

Nevertheless, we lack the tiger’s teeth, the elephant’s hide or the bear’s muscularity.

그럼에도 불구하고, 우리에게는 호랑이의 이빨, 코끼리의 가죽, 혹은 곰의 강건함이 없다. 

 

Our strength lies in numbers and, even more important, the ability to work together for the communal good.

우리의 힘은 수에 있고, 훨씬 더 중요한 것은 공동의 이익을 위해 협력하는 능력에 있다. 

 

And families are the basis for that vital co-operation.

그리고 가족은 그 중요한 협력의 기초이다.

 

I would suggest that the in-built human herd instinct, the need to communicate clearly and bond with others, lies behind most of mankind’s subsequent achievements.

나는 인간의 내재하는 무리 본능, 즉 타인과 분명하게 의사 소통을 하고 유대감을 형성하려는 욕구가 인류가 이후에 이룬 대부분의 업적들 이면에 존재한다고 말하고 싶다.
