What does "this function" refer to? Could you explain it to me?
Assessing the survivability of an environment can be risky (if an environment turns out to be deadly, for instance, it might be too late by the time you found out), so humans have evolved the desire to associate with similar individuals as a way to perform this function efficiently.

'This function' is being used as a way to refer back to 'Assessing the survivability of an environment'. So in effect it's saying that 'humans associate with similar individuals as a way to assess the survivability of an environment efficiently' but without having to repeat the first part of the paragraph.
