Behavioral Mechanics: The effects of serotonin, histamine, and dopamine interactions on human populations

Are there still interesting correlations and causations that an individual with some research hard work, ingenuity, and gift for "pattern matching" might identify in our complex world? Might some amazing relationships and associations be discovered before Machine Learning and Big Data begin to overtake the majority of scientific research. This book is an example of such discoveries. Consider: could mass shooting in the United States have an unseen cause? Might creativity and human intellectual genius be tied to something in the environment? Are certain days of the year much more likely to have events driven by impulsive anger including military battles? Could a reoccurring brain dopamine cycle actually cause the majority of movement (buying and selling) in the United States stock market? Might yet to be discovered cellular signaling mechanisms be the cause of so much suffering as human group populations grow so large and travel so far apart? These questions are answered and given as examples of such "associations between disparate fields." These examples are analyzed in a collection of five theoretical neuroscience and behavioral psychology essays describing the effects of the neurotransmitters serotonin, histamine, and dopamine on human populations. More precisely, five hypotheses are presented, each as an essay with its own chapter, to encourage additional formal academic and experimental scientific research:1) Seasonal changes in histamine produce "serotonin spikes" that push mentally ill male humans "over the edge" causing mass shootings.2) Areas of dense histamine create larger changes in serotonin levels i.e., a higher "serotonin slope" and, thus, lead to individuals and communities with greater creativity and even increases in innovation and genius.3) Cyclical intervals when serum serotonin is low and serum dopamine high, cause weeks each year of increased "impulsive anger" found in data like days of the year most likely to have a battle start. 4) A secondary 40-day long dopamine cycle in the human brain is the cause of aggregate growth in the U.S. stock market with the exact "sell high" and "buy low" dates known thus providing a risk-free investment strategy above the S&P 500 annual return.5) Exponential increase in human population and migration exceeded human population "group size" community, gene pool, and/or biochemical signaling, thus leading to various social and psychological problems.
