Maybe it's because I'm mid-Star Trek rewatch but I do get tired of the weird outsider character always being like "wow humans are so weird and illogical and make no sense" and the humans always being like "yup! aren't we quirky and weird (in a positive way)!" and just. As someone who has taken exactly one (1) class in human evolution, no?? Once you account for social signaling and the incredibly complex layers of cultural evolution we've built up, it all makes very reasonable sense actually.

Why do we small talk? Social bonding. What is the point of celebrating this holiday/event? Social bonding. Why is courtship so emotionally fraught? Because picking an appropriate partner is a big deal, both socially and like, evolutionarily, and social rejection is bad, which our brain signals to us via emotional responses. But don't your people understand that you're no longer living in a survival context? Sure, we no longer have to worry about starving to death because we have no friends to share food with during the famine, but have you considered: have you provided adequate "true" signaling to prove that you are willing to risk your life to save me from the Borg? Because if not, I'm probably not risking my life for yours. Get your ass over to that birthday party and appreciate it.
