Product Description:
Inthis fully revised and updated edition, the editors have integrated acompletely new set of contributions from the leading researchers in thefield to describe the latest research in evolutionary medicine,providing a fresh summary of this rapidly expanding field 10 yearsafter its
predecessor was first compiled. It continues to adopt abroad approach to the subject, drawing on medically relevant researchfrom evolutionary genetics, human behavioral ecology, evolutionarymicrobiology (especially experimental evolution of virulence andresistance), the evolution of aging and
degenerative disease, and other aspects of biology or medicine where evolutionary approaches make important contributions.
Evolutionin Health and Disease describes how evolutionary thinking givesvaluable insights and fresh perspectives into human health and disease,establishing evolutionary biology as an essential complementary sciencefor medicine. Integrating evolutionary thought into medical researchand practice
helps to explain the origins of many medical conditions, including diabetes, [color=orange ! important][color=orange ! important]obesity, cardiovascular disease, asthma, allergies, other autoimmune diseases, and [color=orange ! important][color=orange ! important]aging. It also provides life-saving insights into the evolutionary responses of pathogens to [color=orange ! important][color=orange ! important]antibiotics, vaccinations, and other human
interventions. Why do we grow old? How can we [color=orange ! important]stay healthyas we age? The book discusses these and many other fascinatingquestions, as well as suggesting exciting possibilities for futuretreatment and research.
This research level text is suitablefor graduate level students and researchers in the fields ofevolutionary (Darwinian) medicine, evolutionary biology, anthropology,developmental biology and genetics. It will also be of relevance anduse to medical researchers and [color=orange ! important][color=orange ! important]doctors.
