#27 Depression - Feature or a Bug? Part 1
from EvolutionMedicine Hosted by evolution and medicine by Joe Alcock MD
Coffee Brown and Joe Alcock are joined by evolutionary biologist and theorist Paul Watson to discuss whether depression is a feature or a bug. Paul Watson developed the social navigation hypothesis along with Ed Hagen, Paul Andrews, and others to explain depression as a unconscious way to break social contracts and make new ones. Watson now calls this the "niche change" hypothesis. This is part one of two.
