Currently, we are building off from the previous themes of ‘What are we?’ and “Where did we come from?”. Human beings, like all animals, have motivations; these motivations manifest as emotions, behaviours and cultures. Here, we distinguish between cultural evolution and biological evolution and identify Kenrick’s pyramid of needs. Sex drive, at the top of the period, is a motive that humans share will all other animals in the animal kingdom. Here, we explore human motivations, behaviours, and cultures rooted in the effects of sexual and familial drives on gene transmission success. At the base of the pyramid is survival drive, and here we elaborate on the human motivation of ‘staying alive’ through examining morality, behaviours, cultures and war. More specifically, how these effects of survival drive influence gene transmission success. Afterwards, we examine human motivations and behaviours associated with an ‘escape from self’ which is where ‘leisure drive’ connects to the pyramid of human needs. Subsequently, ‘legacy drive’ branches off from this sector, distinguishing the 3 main domains of legacy; through religion, parenthood and accomplishment. Finally, we interpret the challenges ahead in hopes of attaining a peaceful civilization and sustainable future, leading us to the ultimate question: “Where are we headed?”. We highlight the predictions about how our continuing evolution as a species and our genetic legacies are likely to affect our human natures, cultures, social lives and our civilization in future generations.
