Evolutionary Explanations
The reason humans are susceptible to migraines is a debated topic. While most commonly fitness-impairing disorders die out due to natural selection, it still remains highly prevalent. Since genetics plays a roll in an individual’s vulnerability to migraines, it is subject to evolution. This evidence supports the belief that migraines provide a survival or reproductive advantage. There are 5 different hypotheses for the evolutionary benefit of migraine headaches. Using a evolutionary medicine perspective, new insight may be provided in the role of migraines. This could further lead to advances in its future treatment and prevention.
 * Defense mechanism
 * Conflicts with other organisms
 * Novel environmental factors
 * Genetic harms and benefits
 * Headache as a design construct
