eli5 why are humans so addicted to patterns?

645 views

I’m sitting here and noticing that almost every bar tender is dancing to the almost exact beat to the music. So in general I’m wondering if anyone knows why we’re so addicted to patterns? From visual to audio and so on, what drives the brain to find and replicate patterns so much? Are other animals addicted to patterns?

The easiest way I can describe it is. If you see a pattern in the bushes. Our brains have adapted to two thoughts. Can I eat that, or can that eat me.
