Recent research suggests that traits associated with ADHD may have actually been beneficial for early humans when foraging for food. The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, found that individuals with ADHD-like symptoms were more likely to switch foraging tactics, leading to a higher success rate in collecting berries. While ADHD is often viewed negatively, this research sheds light on potential advantages these traits may have provided in certain contexts. The findings open up new perspectives on the evolutionary impact of ADHD and offer insights into how such characteristics may have played a crucial role in human development.
