從演化的觀點來看人類健康和疾病

你的基因遺傳、文化、歷史會如何影響你的健康？生物人類學家勞拉．杜爾加維奇在這場演說中討論了演化醫學的領域，透過演化醫學來了解人類生物學的突然轉變——包括為什麼基因突變有時會有益處——並強調了解你自己的演化過往，能夠讓你對現在及未來的健康有更清楚的洞見。

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.
