The theory clarifies the neurobiological and biobehavioral shifts that occurred during the evolutionary transition from asocial reptiles to social mammals. This transition repurposed the autonomic nervous system with capacities to self-calm, to spontaneously socially engage others, and to mitigate threat reactions in ourselves and others through social cues.  Through the lens of the theory, disruptions in behavioral regulation, learning skills, language development, and mental and physical health issues are often related to a disruption of the core neurobiological process underlying sociality.
