Question

Your classmate will be doing a presentation on evolutionary medicine in science class. What is he likely to discuss?

Answer 1

A.the ability of pathogens to resist treatments
B.the development of new medical technology
C.the production of less expensive medicines
D.the importance of a patient's medical history

Answer 2

Evolutionary medicine or Darwinian medicine is the application of modern evolutionary theory to understanding health and disease. The goal of evolutionary medicine is to understand why people get sick, not simply how they get sick. Modern medical research and practice has focused on the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying health and disease, while evolutionary medicine focuses on the question of why evolution has shaped these mechanisms in ways that may leave us susceptible to disease. The evolutionary approach has driven important advances in our understanding of antibiotic resistance,[1] cancer,[2] autoimmune disease,[3] and anatomy.[4] Medical schools have been slower to integrate evolutionary approaches because of limitations on what can be added to existing medical curricula.[5]

Answer 9

That's how you do it!

Answer 10

Actually evolutionary medicine deals with the development of pathogenic resistance. For example certain antibiotics like cefixime where alone capable of treating diseases like typhoid. But now due to darwin's natural selection those pathogens (salmonella typhi) has developed resistance against them. Now several antibiotics (like, cefixime, ofloxacin etc) in combo are only capable to treat it.
