Depressions evolutionary roots

"humans just didn't have time to be depressed in the primal world"

Then what about the fact that depression is found in all cultures even the most primitive?
Are you saying that even the most primitive cultures have it so easy that they have time
to waste on depression

" the symptoms of depression have been found in every culture which has been carefully examined, including small-scale societies, such as the Ache of Paraguay and the !Kung of southern Africa — societies where people are thought to live in environments similar to those that prevailed in our evolutionary past." http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=depressions-evolutionary&page=1

I was saying depression exists in all cultures, not that the rates of depression
were particularly high in all of them
