ADHD, sex difference, hunter-gatherer theory, navigation, landmark
Abstract
This article introduces ADHD and gender differences and reviews relevant evolutionary psychology theories. Specifically, the hunter-gatherer theory which explains the higher prevalence in males and less disruptive symptoms in females, has been expanded from the perspectives of foraging and navigation. Due to the different navigation strategies, males with ADHD are more likely to be selected by nature for their adaptation to hunting, meanwhile, females with ADHD tend to be eliminated by natural selection.
