<p>humans did evolve to be social; that is fair statement. over the course of our evolution the way we interacted with each other got more complex, sophisticated, etc.</p>
<p>Shyness isn’t the opposite of sociality, and neither is introversion. While shyness may work in opposition to social aims, it is not selected for because it is antisocial. Actually it is the opposite. Fear of rejection in the right dose actually promotes inclusion, which means getting along, and all the hallmarks of social behavior. </p>
<p>At extreme levels shyness is inhibitory, just like not fearing rejection at all could be inhibitory by not filtering reckless actions that would likely get you expelled from the group. (The assumption here is that the humans in the group survive more than the humans not in a group.)</p>
<p>people are genetically superior - that is ,they have genes that give them higher probabilities of being happy and being successful in all the ways that we measure it in life.</p>
<p>Having a lot of friends is probably one indicator (albeit probably not a good once) of genetic superiority. Others would be like SAT scores, etc.</p>
