Evolution and Health
How Do Lifestyle and Diet Inflence Medicine and Our Health?
by Nicole Bender, Lotte Habermann-Horstmeier (Eds.)
Description
Today, we live in a new, anthropogenic environment that differs signifcantly from the environments to which we have adapted in the course of our evolution. This has signifcant effects on us humans, our health, and our social interaction. But how does the complex interaction between humans and the environment work from an evolutionary perspective? How does evolution affect our biology and behavior? What role do genetic and epigenetic aspects play here? And what inflence does this have on the development of diseases such as diabetes mellitus type 2, cardiovascular diseases, allergies, autoimmune diseases or mental disorders? The book attempts to provide answers to these complex questions and allows an exciting evolutionary view of our future with new approaches for individual lifestyle opportunities, but also for future public health measures.
