具体描述

Read it. </p>

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>

每一种生物都有两种最基本的需求:生存和繁殖。当生物体试图提高生存和繁殖的概率时,进化便发生了。有时候一种生物体的存活是对另一种生物体的死刑判决,因此任何一个物种的进化都会对成百上千的其他物种造成进化压力。 对一个没有伤口或皮肤破损的成年人而言,感染途径主要包...

September 06, 2008 Survival of the Sickest: The Surprising Connection between Disease and Longevity 这本书的名字只是个噱头,并不是书真正的论点,副标题起得更是不着边。此书其实是本介绍进化生物学理论的科普书。我对此一题目向来就有兴趣,因此读来很有收获。 作...

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/...
