The reason why many of us take risks might have to do with early humans.Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 27. As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.?

As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 28. ?
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 29.
