Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Evolutionary neuropathology is an approach to understanding neurological and neurodegenerative diseases in terms of adaptation to environment, natural history and evolutionary medicine. The overlying theme in this literature is that some of the most prevalent disorders of the brain, although maladaptive in a modern environment, may have responded to particular ecological scenarios and even created protective behavior during hunter-gatherer times. Articles in evolutionary neuropathology point out that the genes responsible for a large number of neurological disorders may have been naturally selected because of specific adaptive qualities that they conferred in the ancestral environment, including things like: a lowered metabolism, increased use of defensive behaviors, decreased tendency towards inhibition and delayed gratification, a reliance on implicit instead of explicit cognition and others.
