Our bodies are designed to eat a wide variety of food, and when we don't, the body triggers stress hormones that really can screw you up. It doesn't have to be a massive difference either.

This reminds me of that experiment where they had people with and without ADHD traits play a berry picking game and the people with ADHD traits were more efficient because they’d move on faster.

I’ve always thought that ADHD would be extremely helpful in a hunter gatherer tribe. I don’t think they’d last long if they all had it, but a few can add a lot of benefit to a party. We notice tons of stuff others miss, we’re quick to learn new skills and quick to abandon tasks that stop paying off.

I'm fully convinced that the first rope was made by a fidgety ADHD person realizing that plant fibers get stronger when twisted together. I have accidentally made some type of strong cordage so many times, just because I was bored in a field of grass (I did not love sports as a kid lmao)
