02.06.2025 13:39 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Evolution doesn’t always eliminate such traits if, on average, the species thrives. So, these “overclocked” sensitivities might linger in a subset of the population.
02.06.2025 13:39 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Could misophonia be similar? Perhaps heightened sound sensitivity was once advantageous—alerting us to threats or social cues—but in some, it crosses a threshold into distress.
02.06.2025 13:39 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Despite its drawbacks, schizophrenia persists globally. The cliff-edge model suggests it’s the extreme end of beneficial traits that, when overexpressed, become maladaptive.
02.06.2025 13:39 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0This concept applies to psychiatry too. Traits like creativity and abstract thinking boost fitness, but when they exceed optimal levels, they may manifest as schizophrenia—a condition reducing reproductive success.
02.06.2025 13:39 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Example: Birds benefit from stronger flight muscles, enhancing escape from predators. But beyond a certain size, those muscles hinder flight, leading to a sharp fitness drop.

🧬 Just read about cliff-edge fitness functions in evolutionary biology—where traits improve fitness up to a point, then suddenly become detrimental. 🧵
