Schizophrenia, psychiatric genetics, and Darwinian psychiatry: an evolutionary framework.

Schizophrenia bulletin - 1 Jul 2008

Pearlson Godfrey D, Folley Bradley S

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary origins of one of the most dramatic and seemingly deleterious behavioral phenotypes, the syndrome known as schizophrenia, are mysterious. Schizophrenia occurs in all cultures and is inherited. Although most phenotypes are said to be "selected for" based on adaptive qualities, it is difficult to understand how the genetic basis of schizophrenia could have operated under a similar framework.
