Professor Thomas Glass is an expert in public health, who has studied social responses to disasters for more than a
decade. When he was asked 41 disaster brings out the worst in people, he said the following. “The answer has to be
no. 42 , disasters tend to bring out the best in us. From an evolutionary point of view, it almost has to be this way. As
recent as our grandparents’ 43 and going back 150,000 years to the beginning of human kind, disasters were a dime
a dozen. Human beings survived ice ages, famine, attacks from rival groups, predation from animals, infection—and we
didn’t survive 44 we were strong or fast. We survived as a species because in 45 , we tended to be very
resourceful and cooperative. If it were the case that disaster brought out the worst in us, I don’t think we would be here.”
