摘要
Why do we get sick? Medical doctors would say there are many causes, depending on the sickness: the SARS-CoV2 virus causes COVID-19, poor eating habits cause obesity, smoking causes lung cancer. But what if we looked at this question differently…as a species, why have we evolved bodies that are vulnerable to getting sick? Should we not have evolved to be healthy all the time? The field of evolutionary medicine aims to join ideas from medical science with ideas from evolutionary science to better explain health and disease. This approach could provide entirely new ideas for treating human health threats like cancer, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, obesity, and COVID-19, just to name a few!
