Innate cognitive biases can lead humans (and animals) to unfortunate errors in judgement. Often, these evolutionary behavioral and cognitive traits are also helpful adaptive mechanisms.

An awareness of our shared tendencies, however, may help us better govern our thinking and decision-making processes. View list of cognitive biases at wikipedia.org.
