answer: Claire is undergoing great pressures because she has too much paperwork. #Person1# comforts her that stress is normal for it's a part of the human condition and when you meet threats, your body will cause chemical reactions. Modern humans actually encounter more stresses than our ancestors.
documents: #Person1#: Hey Claire, you've been really quiet these last few days. Is something wrong?
  #Person2#: I've been really stressed. It's the end of the year and I've got so much stuff to do! I feel like I'm drowning in work.
  #Person1#: Well, stress is a real thing. It's not an imaginary condition.
  #Person2#: It's seriously affecting my life! I can't sleep, I don't have much of an appetite and my husband says I've been kind of short tempered. Other people seem to handle stress okay. . . why am I so weak?
  #Person1#: You're not weak. . . you're stressed out! Stress has been a part of the human condition for millions of years. Back when we still lived in the trees we had to watch out for predators. . . and as you might imagine, that was pretty stressful.
  #Person2#: Yeah, but I don't see any tigers or leopards roaming around our office. My stress is just about silly paperwork!
  #Person1#: But you're actually having the same reaction as our tree-dwelling ancestors! It's called the flight or fight response. Each time you feel like something's threatening you, your body decides whether to run away or fight. . . it causes all sorts of chemical reactions in the body.
  #Person2#: So a deadline will cause that same reaction?
  #Person1#: It could. Modern humans actually have more flight or fight responses than our ancestors did. They just had a couple of close calls every day, but today, we have dozens or even hundreds!
  #Person2#: So the life of a cave woman was less stressful than my life?
