Synopsis

This is the result of a collaboration between a research biologist and a pioneering medical doctor. It defines a set of scientific questions about health, and describes the advances that can be expected from the new evolution-based medicine. The authors suggest that most of what we think of as "illness" is in fact best understood as being side effects of evolutionary progress. Among the areas covered are cancer, ageing, allergy, pregnancy, mental disorders, as well as a wide range of infectious diseases from notorious lethal epidemics to prosaic everyday complaints such as the common cold.
