All animals adapt not to the current environment but to the past environment. This explains imprinting that all animals undergo during early stages of life. This is the period, during which the learning process is going, that helps an animal to identify himself or herself as a member of a certain group and therefore helps him or her to learn particular behaviour patterns that are characteristic to this group. That is why many of us have a special place in the heart for home village or home town and the environment that we have lived in as we were children. The imprinting explains another characteristic behaviour pattern of humans, this is the constant comparison of the environment that we grew up with the current environment and the attraction to the environment that we grew up in. That is why older people often say that young people stray from the right path or behave in the way that older people consider unacceptable, because they unconsciously consider the imprinted environment to be better or more appropriate, but the environment was better and appropriate for them, because they experience imprinting towards this environment. The imprinting of course goes beyond generation problem and expands on political systems, for example. When a group of people takes power and tries to turn a political system or environment back towards the environment in which they experienced the imprinting. This way human beings always look backwards, striving for the environment that is most appropriate for their survival or the environment that was imprinted. Therefore, humans always lag behind the environment that they live in because technological progress lets the environment change too fast, but humans look backwards because of the attraction to their imprinted environment.
