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 · · · · · ·

1 有趣的科普书,门外汉阅读无障碍。2 主题词:进化论 自然选择 遗传基因 3 本体不到70%,30%都是notes和搜索用词条…倒是方便扩展阅读。

人是会生病的,是不完美的,这恰恰体现了环境的复杂和永恒变化。不要尝试去消灭细菌,消灭病毒,没有它们也就没有我们。糖尿病,癌症,衰老,这不是缺陷,恰恰体现了人对环境的适应。再一次强调,基因是自私的,并不会为生命个体考虑。表观遗传学与拉马克进化论又焕发了生机。最后关于衰老,癌症,干细胞之间的联系,还是没有讲明白。作者似乎还有个误区,就是基因的进化一定对人类有益。基因只不过想进一步扩张自己,至于是否对人... 人是会生病的,是不完美的,这恰恰体现了环境的复杂和永恒变化。不要尝试去消灭细菌,消灭病毒,没有它们也就没有我们。糖尿病,癌症,衰老,这不是缺陷,恰恰体现了人对环境的适应。再一次强调,基因是自私的,并不会为生命个体考虑。表观遗传学与拉马克进化论又焕发了生机。最后关于衰老,癌症,干细胞之间的联系,还是没有讲明白。作者似乎还有个误区,就是基因的进化一定对人类有益。基因只不过想进一步扩张自己,至于是否对人有益它不管。 (展开)
