从进化的角度来看人类健康与疾病

你的遗传基因、文化和历史如何影响你的健康？生物考古学家 莱拉 · 德加维奇（Lara Durgavich）探讨了进化医学领域如何作为理解人体生物学奇事的门户——比如为什么基因突变有时会有益处——并强调了解你自身的进化历史，能让你对当前和未来的健康有更明朗的见解。

Human health is shaped not just by current biology but by centuries of evolutionary trade-offs. A gene mutation that causes fatal Tay-Sachs disease persisted at high rates among Ashkenazi Jews because carriers were more likely to survive tuberculosis in crowded European ghettos. Evolutionary medicine reveals that what seems harmful now may once have offered life-saving protection. Understanding this deeper history helps explain why bodies are still vulnerable to disease, and how culture and ancestry affect health risks.
