 Robert Sapolsky and shamanism 

Shouldn't Robert Sapolsky's theory about shamanism and schizotypalism as the source of schizophrenia be mentioned here? He is clearly a notable source on this subject. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WwAQqWUkpI 173.17.92.242  
Before anyone else objects to Youtube as a source, I'll point out that this is Sapolsky giving a lecture. That said, this strikes me as a better fit for Causes of schizophrenia#Evolutionary psychology than here. It's a very speculative theory, albeit from a clearly notable commentator, with little experimental evidence, and it also focuses on what he calls schizotypical personality disorder, and not on schizophrenia per se.   
Pretty much what Tryptofish said... (talk · contribs) 
Only pretty much?   
(chuckle) look at my userpage at how I use language - I generally understate things - ""hypobole"" - just a habit...maybe a self-soothing behaviour...just keepin' it casual.... (talk · contribs)
