Population genetical musings on suicidal behavior as a common, harmful, heritable mental disorder [commissioned commentary]

Abstract

Suicidal behavior is an interesting blank space in Keller & Miller's (K&M's) population genetical account on explaining the existence and persistence of common, harmful, heritable mental disorders. I argue that suicidal behavior is yet another of these disorders. It may well be consistent with all three evolutionary models considered by K&M
