Abnormal features of human self-domestication in bipolar disorder [PDF]
European Journal of Neuroscience, 2020 Bipolar disorder (BD) is a severe mental condition characterized by episodes of elevated mood and depression. Being a heritable condition, it features a complex genetic architecture, and it is not still clear how genes contribute to the onset and course ...

Masculinity and the Mechanisms of Human Self-Domestication [PDF]
Adaptive Human Behavior and Physiology, 2017 Pre-historic decline in human craniofacial masculinity has been proposed as evidence of selection against reactive aggression and a process of ‘human self-domestication’ thought to have promoted complex capacities including language, culture, and ...

Self-domestication and language evolution [PDF]
, 2014 This thesis addresses a major problem facing any attempt to account for language structure through a cultural mechanism: The processes required by such a mechanism are only possible if we assume the existence of a range of preconditions.

Why Care: Complex Evolutionary History of Human Healthcare Networks
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 One of the striking features of human social complexity is that we provide care to sick and contagious individuals, rather than avoiding them. Care-giving is a powerful strategy of disease control in human populations today; however, we are not the only ...

What made us “hunter-gatherers of words”
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 This paper makes three interconnected claims: (i) the “human condition” cannot be captured by evolutionary narratives that reduce it to a recent ‘cognitive modernity', nor by narratives that eliminates all cognitive differences between us and out closest

Prosociality and a Sociosexual Hypothesis for the Evolution of Same-Sex Attraction in Humans
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Human same-sex sexual attraction (SSSA) has long been considered to be an evolutionary puzzle. The trait is clearly biological: it is widespread and has a strong additive genetic basis, but how SSSA has evolved remains a subject of debate.
