Schizophrenia as the price that Homo sapiens pays for language: a resolution of the central paradox in the origin of the species

TJ Crow - Brain research reviews, 2000 - Elsevier
The central paradox of schizophrenia is that the condition, apparently genetic in origin,
persists in spite of a substantial fecundity disadvantage. The hypothesis is proposed that the …
