¿Cómo influye su herencia genética, cultura e historia en su salud? La antropóloga biológica Lara Durgavich nos habla del campo de la medicina evolutiva como una puerta de entrada para comprender las peculiaridades de la biología humana, incluido por qué una mutación genética a veces puede tener efectos beneficiosos, y enfatiza cómo desentrañar su propio pasado evolutivo podría obtener información sobre su presente y futuro salud.

Daniel Lieberman | Vintage, 2014 | Book

The Story of the Human Body: Evolution, Health, and Disease

Lieberman, the chair of the department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University, writes clearly and cleverly about the evolutionary legacy of the human body. He explores not only the adaptations that have helped humans thrive, but also the constraints of our bodily inheritance, offering valuable insight into how our modern lifestyles have in many cases contributed to negative health outcomes.

Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic

Particularly relevant in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, this book by David Quammen, one of the best science writers working today, examines the process by which infectious diseases can "jump" from non-human species to humans, and the devastating consequences that can result. It's an essential read for understanding how an evolutionary perspective applies to and can benefit infectious disease research.
