About This Book
Why We Get Sick applies evolutionary theory to medicine, examining why natural selection has not eliminated many common diseases and vulnerabilities.
The authors argue that understanding our evolutionary past can reveal why certain conditions persist and how this knowledge may guide better medical approaches.
The book presents a broad perspective on health that integrates biology, evolution, and clinical insight without relying on specific case studies or patient stories.
