Excerpt from Heredity, Disease and Human Evolution
A knowledge of the leading peculiarities of disease is evidently an essential preliminary to the consideration of the significance Of diseases in the process of human evo lution. One who wishes to speak of disease must know what it is. But we do not need, for such an exposition, the strictly scientific groundwork of knowledge possessed by the pathological expert. It will suffice to start with a clear definition as to the essential nature Of disease, one which will give us a general understanding Of the influence of this process upon the bodily and mental capacity of the individual human being, and in association therewith upon the race as a whole.
