Schizophrenia is a “modern” disease, which developed after humans diverged from Neanderthals, between 300,000 and 700,000 years ago. Scientists say no genetic evidence suggests early hominids suffered from the psychiatric disorder.

Hmm…the evolution allowed the genes to mingle in a new way…allowing us to far surpass our last form with advanced thinking…but the advanced thinking opened the door for sz…cool info…

I know that neanderthals were cannibal who eat human flesh at europe.maybe cannibalism triggering schizophrenia
Cannibalism can trigger a diff form of crazyness…I think eating the brain offsets levels in your own brain allowing for a type of psychosis… But if sz didn’t exsist in the Neanderthal then their cannibal ways couldn’t give them sz…I guess their genetic makeup didn’t allow the combo needed for sz…
