Schizophrenia may have evolved as an “unwanted side effect” of the development of the complex human brain, a new study has found.
A team of scientists has developed an algorithm that can accurately pinpoint, in large regions of the human genome, mutations favored by natural selection. The finding provides deeper insight into how evolution works, and ultimately could lead to better treatments for genetic disorders.
