The
consensus on the evolution
of primitive life is that simple life forms (prokaryotes, organisms whose cells
lack a
distinct nucleus) inhabited the Earth about 3 - 4 billion years ago, eukaryotic cells (those with a nucleus which contains the genetic material) emerging 2 - 3 billion years ago.
There is also inconsistency regarding studying anxiety and depressive symptoms as a single «internalizing domain» or as two clinically -
distinct presentations.6, 7 Similar issues with how to classify symptoms are reflected in the
lack of consensus as to whether emotional problems should be conceptualized and studied in a categorical versus dimensional fashion.8 Diagnostic criteria (DSM - IV - TR) 9 are often inappropriate for young children and do not capture developmentally - salient types
of impairment (e.g., disruption in family routine), which make it difficult to apply psychiatric research methods.
