Principles of Evolutionary Medicine (Oxford Biology)
"How often has anyone said after reading a textbook, "Wow, what a great read!"? That is what I just did. Peter Gluckman, along with Alan Beedle and Mark Hanson, have written a wonderful introduction to the principles of evolutionary biology and defined ways in which these principles can be applied to understanding human disease."--JAMA"Principles of Evolutionary Medicineis the first specifically designed as a textbook appropriate for medical students and medical schools, and it succeeds brilliantly."--Science"Clearly written and well presented...this book will be of great value and is strongly recommended for medical training as well as for a more general audience. It is my hopethat it will contribute to a greater interest in evolutionary biology among medical students and improve interdisciplinary awareness." -- Nicole Bender, Institute of Social & Preventative Medicine, University of Bern, Switzerland, forThe Quarterly Review of Biology
