Only humans invent moralizing gods who monitor our behavior.

We live well enough to have the luxury to get ourselves sick with purely social, psychological stress.

But if you get chronically, psychosocially stressed, you're going to compromise your health. So, essentially, we've evolved to be smart enough to make ourselves sick.
