Human behavior is part biologically programmed so to say that this is far fetched is to ignore evolution.


There's a difference between the argument that people have an evolved biological preference for warmth and pressure, and the argument that this is because it evokes conditions in the womb.

Without elaboration, the latter sounds like Freudian psychobabble to me.


What does the concept of "retreating to the womb" have to do with evolutionary pressures?
