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.

这本书很有趣。如果本人具备一定的生物学、医学基础，我可能更加明白个中妙处。书里告诉我们：现在我们遇到的很多疾病（血色病、糖尿病、蚕豆病、皮肤癌，只记得这几个）都在漫长的进化进程中曾经帮助过我们，使我们免于灭亡。举个例子：糖尿病“是一组由于胰岛素分泌缺陷和/...

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。...

這本書加上selfish genes, 我覺得業餘遺傳愛好者就可以無敵瞭～

First, that life is in a constant state of creation. Evolution isn’t over. Second, that nothing in our world exists in isolation. We—meaning humans and animals and plants and microbes and everything else—are all evolving together. And third, that our relationship with disease is often much more complex than we may have previously realized.
