Evolution-schizophrenia linkage found

BATH, England, Sept. 6 British-led researchers said they found a linkage between evolution and the development of schizophrenia.

The scientists said they found evidence of positive selection, also known as Darwinian selection, in several genes associated with schizophrenia. Darwinian selection is the process by which new variants of genes become dominant because organisms with the new versions are more likely to survive.

The researchers -- Steve Dorus of the University of Bath, Bernard Crespi of Canada's Simon Fraser University and Kyle Summers of East Carolina University -- said they believe their finding helps explain the persistence of schizophrenia, despite its adverse effects on health and reproductive fitness.

A non-christian because of you

"SHAME on Korean 'so-called'Christians! They have NOTHING to do with the words of Jesus.....you are just money searching fanatics."
_______

Many false Christians that are money hungry, but that in no way diminishes what Jesus Christ was and His words of truth and righteousness. He is the WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFEâ€”NO MAN COMETH TO THE FATHER EXCEPT BY HIM.

You can use people as an excuse, but on the Day of Judgmentâ€”you alone will give an account for your decisions and actions. You need to seriously think about eternity and who you will serve.

Turn to Jesus Christ today. Accept Him as your Lord and seek forgiveness and cleansing in His atoning blood.
In the love of Jesus Christ our Lord

too right, Vic -

any "evidence" they have can only be "statistical" - add that to the pre-conceived idea of "evolution" and the answers a "lemon".

According to this the next step in evolution for mankind could well be the development of a "homo schizophrensis".

Sounds feasible

It would be interesting to know what this "evidence" is "?" And this proves one spicies morphs into another over millions of years HOW?

Silly me, I thought folks with schizophrenia were still folks!
