Abstract

In order to address why numbers of patients suffering from anxiety and depression are seemingly exploding in WEIRD countries it is sensible to look at the evolution of human fearfulness responses. Here, we draw on Veit’s pathological complexity framework to advance Grossmann’s goal to re-characterize human fearfulness as an adaptive trait.
