2020开篇原版书,有趣满分,打开新世界满分,原本计划7天读完,实际9天
评分严重好于预期。有趣而震撼。十分值得重读。笔记: DNA is not destiny. DNA is history.
评分作为科普读物,内容很深入。作者总能衍生到很远的地方再拐回来,这个写作手法很新鲜。但我可能不会推荐周围的朋友,“转座子”、“表观遗传学”、“细胞程序性凋亡”这些概念的出现,已经让这本书进入半专业水平,略难。
评分从一个理科生的角度这书是在罗列数据 事例关联性不够强 解释得比较琐碎
评分Life is a miracle. 这本书最大的特点是很会运用analogy,一定程度上照顾到了科普知识还不够多的读者我

Synopsis
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. With this revolutionary new book, Sharon Moalem completely turns modern medicine's understanding of disease on it's head. "It is not," he argues, "that dark country to which we're exiled when we're not 'healthy.' The truth, I intend to show you, is much more interesting and encouraging." His research will reveal that many common diseases are in fact complicated blessings. In considering the question of why diseases exist, Moalem proposes that most common diseases came into existence for very good reasons. Diabetes, hemochromatosis, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia all may exist because at some point they helped our ancestors survive some grand challenge to human existence. In turn, he also discovered 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.
With mesmerizing insight, Moalem demonstrates 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 can't drink as much alcohol as Europeans. Information in this book is extremely timely, such as Moalem's exploration of the Avian Flu, a disease that threatens to be the world's next great pandemic. Revelatory and written in an utterly engaging fashion, Sharon Moalem's book will change the way we think about our own bodies.
第一章 | 走出健康误区☞不易盲目补铁 首先作者在引言部分就以亲身经历给我们对血色病做了简单的阐述,简而言之,血色病是体内一种铁代谢障碍性遗传病。正常情况下,当机体检测到体内铁含量过多时,它会自动减少小肠从食物中吸收铁,从而降低铁含量。因此,即使我们摄入了大...
评分 评分看这本书的目的就是为了更长寿、更健康。 书中讲到了很多我还不知道的东西,铁是不能乱补的,它需要一个平衡;蚕豆是不能多吃的;植物雌激素会阻止生育能力的;环境的改变,会导致细胞的甲基化,导致生病等等。总之,生命处在一个持续创造的状态,进化永远不会停止,而我们为了...
评分按一般的思维逻辑,我们通常把健康认为是一般状态,而生病就是“不幸的事”。但或许一切的疾病,都可能与整个人类的进化发展史有关。在地球上存在的所有生物——包括人类、动物、植物、微生物,都在相互依存进化着。 或许我们会惊讶于一些遗传病竟和人类祖先为了生存下来有关。...
