"L'envie d'ascensionner en contrôle, la volonté de survivre, est enracinée profondément dans notre passé évolutif."

Simplified Meaning:

Humans have a strong instinct to take charge of situations and make sure they stay alive. This instinct comes from our ancient ancestors who had to fight to survive in a tough environment. Think of it like early humans needing to find food, protect themselves from danger, and take care of their families. Because of this, they developed a natural desire to be in control and manage their surroundings better. For example, in today's world, people might work hard at their jobs to earn money for food and shelter, or they might learn new skills to solve problems and make life easier. This is similar to how our ancestors adapted to their environment. We inherited these survival drives, which help us stay motivated and overcome challenges. By understanding this, people can recognize why they might feel the need to strive for success and be in control in their daily lives.
