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.

評分Life is a miracle. 這本書最大的特點是很會運用analogy,一定程度上照顧到瞭科普知識還不夠多的讀者我

沙倫·莫勒姆,博士,獲奬科學傢、醫生,以及《紐約時報》暢銷書作者。其研究和作品通過醫藥學、遺傳學、曆史和生物學的相互融閤,以一種新穎而又引人入勝的方式來解釋人類的身體是如何工作的。他還是《紐約時報》暢銷書《病者生存》(Survival of the Sickest)和《性之謎》 (How Sex Works)的作者。他的著作已被翻譯成30餘種語言。
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.
每一种生物都有两种最基本的需求:生存和繁殖。当生物体试图提高生存和繁殖的概率时,进化便发生了。有时候一种生物体的存活是对另一种生物体的死刑判决,因此任何一个物种的进化都会对成百上千的其他物种造成进化压力。 对一个没有伤口或皮肤破损的成年人而言,感染途径主要包...

評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...
