評分從一個理科生的角度這書是在羅列數據 事例關聯性不夠強 解釋得比較瑣碎
評分這本書加上selfish genes, 我覺得業餘遺傳愛好者就可以無敵瞭~
評分嚴重好於預期。有趣而震撼。十分值得重讀。筆記: DNA is not destiny. DNA is history.

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.

評分生命,本就是一种妥协。科学就是不断修正,我们在批判前人结论的基础上建设。进化只是解决当时一个问题,并不是全面的。我们体内遗留的一些基因只是保障我们明天不死,而不是40年后不死。就像那句话“那些杀不死我们的,迟早会杀死我们”。David M·Buss的《进化心理学》也可以...
