Reduced fertility in patients' families is consistent with the sexual selection model of schizophrenia and schizotypy.

PloS one - 29 Dec 2010

Del Giudice Marco

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Schizophrenia is a mental disorder marked by an evolutionarily puzzling combination of high heritability, reduced reproductive success, and a remarkably stable prevalence. Recently, it has been proposed that sexual selection may be crucially involved in the evolution of schizophrenia. In the sexual selection model (SSM) of schizophrenia and schizotypy, schizophrenia represents the negative extreme of...
