Evolutionary Medicine

Evolutionary Medicine is based upon the view that many contemporary social, psychological, and physical illnesses are related to an incompatibility between current human lifestyles and environments and the conditions under which human biology developed. This book, featuring contributions from many of the leading workers in this developing area, provides a good introduction and overview to this emerging field. The audience will be interdisciplinary, including evolutionary biologists, anthropologists, psychologists and sociologists, biomedical and clinical researchers, and some clinicians.
