- scott_w 3y agoIf only someone was doing research on neurodiverse behavioural traits. Maybe try to identify people displaying those traits and put them into simulations of conditions that we think prehistoric humans lived in.
- bowsamic 3y agoSure but the OP made it sound ridiculous on the face of it, but it sounds like a reasonable suggestion to me
- notfed 3y agoPoe's law is strong here. Anxiety obviously evolved as an adaptive trait.
- hirvi74 3y agoAll mammals can exhibit it. I do not think anxiety is a disorder, but rather a natural response. It's literally our "fight or flight" mechanism. I think the disorder part comes from the fact that such mechanisms are being hit constantly for so many people that it causes disorder in one's life. There is no rest for the system, and it's constantly under some sort of strain. Yes, anxiety might save us from a saber-tooth tiger, but I do not think situations like that were an all-day-every-day kind of occurrence like the things that cause anxiety in today's time.
