The human adaptation is human culture. The hierarchy of cultural demand is something like this: (1) Trust (at the bottom), (2) Cooperation, (3) Socialization, (4) Culture, and then at the top, (5) The Individual. When we torch trust, we're the very basis of our adaptation, or "the way we as a species make it here." We're individual members of a collective species -- members in relationship. Minus trust, the relationships are not good to our adaptation, or us as individuals. Trust is the human key.
