-Descripción:

The next time you feel unwell, consider this: your body may be reacting as it should. In this influential book, two experts in Darwinian medicine argue that sickness and the predispositions towards it are influenced by natural selection, just like other aspects of our physical design. The book explores various questions such as the potential benefits of a fever, reasons behind morning sickness in pregnancy, the ways certain viruses influence their hosts to spread infection, and evolutionary factors that may contribute to depression and panic disorder. Summarizing research on a range of conditions from allergies to Alzheimer's, and from cancer to Huntington's chorea, "Why We Get Sick" provides answers to these queries and more, aiming to transform our understanding of illness and provide valuable insights to both laypeople and medical professionals.
