TL;DR Summary

A new study suggests that individuals with ADHD-like traits may have an evolutionary advantage in foraging, as they tend to have better foraging strategies than those with neurotypical traits. The findings propose that ADHD traits may have evolved as an adaptive survival strategy, favoring exploration of new spots for resources. While these traits may not always prove beneficial in modern contexts, the study highlights the potential advantages of ADHD-like traits in certain environments and the need for further research in this area.
