Why We Get Sick: The New Science of Darwinian Medicine by Randolph M. Nesse explores a powerful idea: many modern illnesses make sense when viewed through the lens of evolution. This engaging science title explains why bodies that evolved for survival can still be vulnerable to disease, pain, anxiety, and other health problems.
Clear, thought-provoking, and highly readable, the book shows how Darwinian medicine can change the way we understand symptoms and treatment. Readers interested in human biology, evolution, and the roots of illness will find a fascinating perspective that connects medicine with the story of life itself.
