One point of interest is Pavlov's commentary on negative conditioned reflexes and even incapacitation. We tend to quickly categorize these types of things as weaknesses, but they can be strengths. Pavlov talks about insects that become incapacitated when touched. If they didn't automatically do this, they'd probably be eaten by predators, so this is a survival mechanism. Back pain can be an incapacitating distraction. Today if we lose control of our raw emotions, we may end up fired, or divorced. If you go back thousands of years though, emotional outburst may have resulted in being pushed out of the tribe or pack, resulting in isolation, in which case a person would have a better chance of being lunch for a predator. Pavlov also emphasizes that there is only one difference between conditioned and unconditioned reflex...conditioned reflexes are learned...and aside from that they function exactly the same, and even use the same biological infrastructure.
