I’ve always thought, it’s not absurd to think there different development routes which the brain takes depending on the environment it develops in.

With your foraging example, it does make me think ADHD is a small group/individual optimisation. Prioritising high vigilance and individual productivity over social cohesion.

I speak with no authority. I don’t even know how such a theory could be tested.
