Evolutionary psychiatry attempts to explain and examine the
development and prevalence of psychiatric disorders through the
lens of evolutionary and adaptationist theories. In this edited
volume, leading international evolutionary scholars present a
variety of Darwinian perspectives that will encourage readers to
consider 'why' as well as 'how' mental disorders arise. Using
insights from comparative animal evolution, ethology, anthropology,
culture, philosophy and other humanities, evolutionary thinking
helps us to re-evaluate psychiatric epidemiology, genetics,
biochemistry and psychology. It seeks explanations for persistent
heritable traits shaped by selection and other evolutionary
processes, and reviews traits and disorders using phylogenetic
history and insights from the neurosciences as well as the effects
of the modern environment. By bridging the gap between social and
biological approaches to psychiatry, and encouraging bringing the
evolutionary perspective into mainstream psychiatry, this book will
help to inspire new avenues of research into the causation and
treatment of mental disorders.
