The evolutionary success of Homo sapiens is attributed to the following two
factors: the upright body posture (which freed our hands and allowed
unconstrained operation of various objects) and intensive development of the
frontal lobes, mainly the Broca area of the brain. Underlining the uniqueness of
the human brain, we often forget about the fact that the frontal lobes - the most
developed part of the brain - are at the same time our greatest weakness, exposed
to the action of damaging factors in our evolving environment. Is depression the
cost of evolution?
