Population genetical musings on suicidal behavior as a common, harmful, heritable mental disorder
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 29 (4):423-424 (2006)
Abstract
Suicidal behavior is an interesting blank space in Keller & Miller's (K&M's) population genetical account on explaining the existence and persistence of common, harmful, heritable mental disorders. I argue that suicidal behavior is yet another of these disorders. It may well be consistent with all three evolutionary models considered by K&M. (Published Online November 9 2006).My notes
