Synopsis

In considering the question of why diseases exist Dr Moalem proposes that most common diseases came into existence for very good reasons. Diabetes hemochromatosis cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia may all exist because at some time in our past they helped our ancestors survive some grand challenge to human existence. In turn he also discovers that genetic and cultural differences have led to each race having different and unique ways of reacting to their environment and subsequently how they become susceptible to certain diseases.

Inhaltsangabe
In this groundbreaking and absorbing book, wunderkind Dr. Sharon Moalem delves back into the evolution of man to reveal hitherto unknown and astonishing ways the human body is built to survive. This revolutionary new book completely turns modern medicines understanding of disease on its head. Moalems research will reveal that many common diseases are in fact complicated blessings. With mesmerizing insight, Moalem proposes that most common diseases came into existence for very good reasons - for example, how diabetes may be a by-product of a mechanism that helped humans survive the Ice Age, why African Americans living in the north might suffer from vitamin D deficiencies, and why Asians cant drink as much alcohol as Europeans. Moalem also looks at how the modern world influences disease, and discusses Avian Flu, which threatens to be the worlds next great pandemic. Chapters include: ? Iron Men and the Revival of Therapeutic Bleeding: How Iron Overloading Protected Our Ancestors from the Plague ? Why Ted Williams Wont Survive Freezing Temperatures but You Just Might: Was Diabetes an Adaptation to the Ice Age? ? Do African Americans have High Blood Pressure Because of Slave Ships: Why Knowing Your Racial and Ethnic Background May be a Matter of Life or Death ? Why Asians Cant Drink and Fava Beans Can Kill: Learning Who You Are from What Your Ancestors Ate ? Rabid Dogs and Obsessive Children: How Diseases Learn Mind Control ? What a Club Med Vacation Can Teach You about Human Evolution: How Our Tears Became Salty and a Newborn Babies Learned to Swim ? How Our Lack of Understanding of Diseases Can Has Caused New Illnesses: How Medicine Inadvertently Shapes the Evolution of Illnesses Revelatory and written in an utterly engaging fashion, Sharon Moalems book will change the way we think about our own bodies.
