\u201cWhat best distinguishes our species is an ability that scientists are just beginning to appreciate: We contemplate the future. Our singular foresight created civilization and sustains society. It usually lifts our spirits, but it\u2019s also the source of most depression and anxiety, whether we\u2019re evaluating our own lives or worrying about the nation. Other animals have springtime rituals for educating the young, but only we subject them to \u201ccommencement\u201d speeches grandly informing them that today is the first day of the rest of their lives.<\/p>\n

A more apt name for our species would be Homo prospectus, because we thrive by considering our prospects. The power of prospection is what makes us wise. Looking into the future, consciously and unconsciously, is a central function of our large brain, as psychologists and neuroscientists have discovered \u2014 rather belatedly, because for the past century most researchers have assumed that we\u2019re prisoners of the past and the present.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Was unsere Spezies am besten auszeichnet, ist eine F\u00e4higkeit, die die Wissenschaftler gerade erst zu sch\u00e4tzen beginnen: Wir denken \u00fcber die Zukunft nach. Unser einzigartiger Weitblick hat die Zivilisation geschaffen und erh\u00e4lt die Gesellschaft aufrecht. Normalerweise hebt es unsere Stimmung, aber es ist auch die Quelle der meisten Depressionen und \u00c4ngste, ob wir nun unser eigenes Leben bewerten oder uns um die Nation sorgen. Andere Tiere haben Fr\u00fchlingsrituale, um ihre Jungen zu erziehen, aber nur wir unterwerfen sie \"Er\u00f6ffnungs\"-Reden, in denen wir ihnen gro\u00dfspurig mitteilen, dass heute der erste Tag ihres restlichen Lebens ist.<\/p>\n

Ein treffenderer Name f\u00fcr unsere Spezies w\u00e4re Homo prospectus, denn wir gedeihen, indem wir unsere Aussichten in Betracht ziehen. Die Kraft der Prospektion macht uns weise. Der bewusste und unbewusste Blick in die Zukunft ist eine zentrale Funktion unseres gro\u00dfen Gehirns, wie Psychologen und Neurowissenschaftler herausgefunden haben - mit einiger Versp\u00e4tung, denn im letzten Jahrhundert sind die meisten Forscher davon ausgegangen, dass wir Gefangene der Vergangenheit und der Gegenwart sind.\"<\/p>\n
