title: Toward an evolutionary basis for resilience to drug addiction.
abstract: According to Müller & Schumann (M&S), people would have evolved adaptations for learning to use psychoactive plants and drugs as instruments that reveal particularly advantageous in modern urban environments. Here I "instrumentalize" this framework to propose an evolutionary basis for the existence of a biological resilience to drug addiction in people.
