Attachment type and threat responses correlate via insecure attachments being more prone to display submissive threat responses and behaviours. Pinning the blame on parenting and childhood experiences for dictating our reactions, especially rape responses and the larger social effect on what contributes to the victim mentality and prevents people from speaking out against attackers. Genetics and the nervous/ parasympathetic nervous system are also looked into as causes for the submissive responses that is found more in women and especially those that are insecurely attached. There is a link between theories such as the critical period for an explanation as to why rape responses may be naturally selective in the same way rape behaviour is, the maladapted or incomplete internal working model therefore may cause a regression to a self soothing primal state which utilises these behaviours for survival.

The neurobiological and naturally selective roots of autism revolve around the testosterone effect, the extreme male brain theory, and various post-hoc hypotheses that state the advantages of neurodivergence in the ancestral plain. Then reverting to a modern-day context, testosterone and lower-functioning autism cases are on the decline, however, neurodivergence as a whole is on the increase. Papers on the inbreeding of hominid ancestors explain the overlap of neurodivergent genes such as ADHD and autism. Then it comes to an ultimatum that without the inhibition of testosterone, autism returns to its naturally selective roots in an information-based, individualistic society and shows that we as a society must become far more educated and understanding of neurodivergence as it will continue to become increasingly common as we are all integrated into the spectrum.
