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. 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. 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.

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
这本书首先提出一个问题:既然进化是筛选出优秀的基因,那为什么会有遗传病的存在? 整本书都用提问题的方式引发我们的思考,然后用现有的医学知识去解答,虽然大部分的问题以现在的医学技术没办法给出确切的答案,但至少可以让我们思考为什么会这样?读完整本书的最强烈的感受... (展开)论坛 · · · · · ·

关于我们为什么会成为现在的样子的一本科普书,我们的构成很复杂,但我们的目标很明确:生存,以及繁殖。BetterReads上面也有提出不同观点的,例如作者的结论下得太轻率(为了得出与自己论断相符的结论而有点勉强为之),以及文章的流畅度不够等。对于了解医学的最新研究发现,最好的途径还是读相关的paper,读书只能算是稍微系统地获得新知的一种方法。
