You're already living it. </p>
Was diabetes evolution's response to the last Ice Age? Did a deadly genetic disease help our ancestors survive the bubonic plagues of Europe? Will a visit to the tanning salon help lower your cholesterol? Why do we age? Why are some people immune to HIV? Can your genes be turned on -- or off? </p>
Joining the ranks of modern myth busters, Dr. Sharon Moalem turns our current understanding of illness on its head and challenges us to fundamentally change the way we think about our bodies, our health, and our relationship to just about every other living thing on earth, from plants and animals to insects and bacteria. </p>
Through a fresh and engaging examination of our evolutionary history, Dr. Moalem reveals how many of the conditions that are diseases today actually gave our ancestors a leg up in the survival sweepstakes. When the option is a long life with a disease or a short one without it, evolution opts for disease almost every time. </p>
Everything from the climate our ancestors lived in to the crops they planted and ate to their beverage of choice can be seen in our genetic inheritance. But Survival of the Sickest doesn't stop there. It goes on to demonstrate just how little modern medicine really understands about human health, and offers a new way of thinking that can help all of us live longer, healthier lives.</p>
Survival of the Sickest is filled with fascinating insights and cutting-edge research, presented in a way that is both accessible and utterly absorbing. This is a book about the interconnectedness of all life on earth -- and, especially, what that means for us. </p>

评分这本书很有趣。如果本人具备一定的生物学、医学基础,我可能更加明白个中妙处。 书里告诉我们:现在我们遇到的很多疾病(血色病、糖尿病、蚕豆病、皮肤癌,只记得这几个)都在漫长的进化进程中曾经帮助过我们,使我们免于灭亡。举个例子:糖尿病“是一组由于胰岛素分泌缺陷和/...
评分怀孕的头几天至关重要,在这段时间内,胎儿会有很多重要的基因给打开或者关闭。假如一位刚怀孕的母亲,在开始的几个星期只吃典型的垃圾食品,胎儿接受到的信息是: 出生后的环境将是艰难的,那将导致各种基因被开启与关闭,来适应出生后的艰难环境。导致婴儿出生时体积较小,所...
