When the Caveman thinks it sees a threat, it triggers one of the “F responses”: fight, flight, or freeze.

In the flight response,

In the freeze response,
the mind becomes over- whelmed and causes the body to stop moving, and often stop thinking, in an attempt to not be noticed by whatever we feel threatened by.
