In Randy's Nesse's new book, "Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights from the Frontier of Evolutionary Psychiatry" his shift on a focus from diseases to traits that make bodies vulnerable to diseases was the crucial insight that became a cornerstone for evolutionary medicine.
The same goes for our brains.
"Our brains were shaped to benefit our genes, not us," said Nesse. "And evolutionary psychiatry is the part of evolutionary medicine that asks why natural selection left us vulnerable to mental disorders."
