now if you only understood half of what you read charlie, your post would actually make some sense.

extrapolation from a genetic disorder to make broad proclamations about the evolution of behavior and interaction of genes and environment on behavior is simply not warranted.

that evolution did not "produce" the abnormality described is obvious, but not particularly instructive.

You can't assume that there is an "underlying" behavior that is simply masked by the presence or lack thereof of a specific set of genes.  It simply doesn't work that way.

Why do you bother continuing in this vein?  I'm not even a specialist in this field,  but managed to learn enough in graduate school alone to know you are way off base here.

I don't understand why you so adamantly refuse to go and learn anything about the subjects you seem to be so interested in.

nuff said.
