The Story of the Human Body: Evolution, Health, and Disease by Daniel E. Lieberman

5.0

A very fascinating and a slightly unsettling book. The crux of the story is that we've changed our environment and lifestyle so drastically in the last few millennia that natural selection hasn't had enough time to adapt our bodies to this change, the result of which is widespread disease.

Can an evolutionary perspective on medical care help us better fight or prevent these diseases? The answer may be yes.
