	1.	Research article Dopamine receptor genetic polymorphisms and body composition in undernourished pastoralists: An exploration of nutrition indices among nomadic and recently settled Ariaal men of northern Kenya Dan TA Eisenberg, Benjamin Campbell, Peter B Gray, Michael D Sorenson BMC Evolutionary Biology 2008, 8:173 (10 June 2008) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary An allele linked to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) confers a health advantage to nomads over the settled men of the Kenyan Ariaal, suggesting the associated food- and novelty-seeking behavior is beneficial in certain environments.
