Some ethological perspectives on the fitness consequences and social emotional symptoms of schizophrenia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 June 2005
Abstract:
Schizophrenia may not have reduced reproductive success in ancestral times as much as it does today, so explaining how genes for it evolved is more understandable given this prehistoric perspective. Ethological analysis of schizophrenia – understanding how basic emotional behaviors, such as dominance striving, are affected by the condition – might prove useful for comprehending and treating its social emotional symptoms.
