Samenvatting:

Behavioural scientists have failed to unravel a coherent evolution and system of behaviour. It is a failure that hinders our understanding of ourselves, of others and of our dysfunctions. Homo Imperfectus is a personal endeavour to correct this failure; it is the result of decades of research and reflection.

Every organism engages in behaviour which registers change, evaluates it and decides on a response. The behavioural system arose from a simple polarisation of change, and of response. Through millennia of evolution, it eventually arrived at our complex, but fragile, human neuro-psychology.

The almost accidental explosion of human intelligence creates an overload of our vital decision-making hub, predisposing it to disorder and the

irreparable damage of schizophrenia. It is not a disorder of our biochemistry, of our physiology, but of how we conduct our lives.
