Why do beings have self preservation?

395 views

I’m sorry if my question isn’t particularly clear, it’s sort of hard to explain what I’m thinking. Most things that are alive have at least some sense of self preservation, and I understand the very basics behind it. For humans, it comes from being prey. However, why was it there to begin with? What caused us to have such a strong will to live? What causes self preservation for any species?

Things that didn’t have self-preservation got itself killed while the things that did preserved themselves and lived. Things that are alive are much better at passing on their sense of preservation via their offspring, and so it gets spread around.
