Natural selection and the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder-obsessive compulsive personality disorder theory of human behavior

摘要

Humans require a balanced diet to survive, which has been established by science. However, science has never considered one crucial question: ancient human beings had very little understanding of science, yet they managed their food sources to achieve a balanced diet in different environments; what made this possible? We would like to propose a theory which addresses this question: The Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder theory of human behavior (ADHD-OCPD theory). The theory proposes that natural selection favored behaviors that allowed humans to gain access to a balanced diet. The theory argues for Darwinian adaptive radiation in human behavior to achieve a balanced diet in different niches over time and space. The theory goes against the current view that some human populations are primitive while others are more evolved. It is a greatly revised and extended version of the Hunter-Farmer theory [1] proposed by Thorn Hartmann.
