About This Book

"Stearns and Medzhitov offer a textbook on evolutionary aspects of medicine, some of which provide immediate answers to help relieve suffering, and others of which can clarify understanding about organisms and their relationship to the environment and each other. They cover evolutionary thinking, what a patient is, what a disease is, defenses, pathogen evolution, cancer, reproductive medicine, mismatch, mental disorders, individual health versus population health, and open questions and other issues." -- Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com).
