The researchers say their findings provide the strongest evidence to date that natural selection for human-specific traits has increased the likelihood of certain disorders. The study, in Molecular Biology and Evolution, suggests the rapid rise of genes linked with autism, which may have slowed brain development after birth and led to more complex thinking or increased capacity for language. Alternatively, ASD-related genes could have compensated for…
