Abstract
A critique of the article by Bogerts on the temporolimbic system theory is presented. Schizophrenia is conceived as arising as a component of the diversity of interhemisphric (callosal) connectivity associated with the evolution of language, a process that occurred through a genetic change (the speciation event) that allowed the hemispheres to develop with a degree of independence. Language and psychosis thus have a common evolutionary origin. The anatomical changes can be considered as a boundary component of the anatomical variation that is characteristic of the species.Keywords
