沙倫·莫勒姆,博士,獲奬科學傢、醫生,以及《紐約時報》暢銷書作者。其研究和作品通過醫藥學、遺傳學、曆史和生物學的相互融閤,以一種新穎而又引人入勝的方式來解釋人類的身體是如何工作的。他還是《紐約時報》暢銷書《病者生存》(Survival of the Sickest)和《性之謎》 (How Sex Works)的作者。他的著作已被翻譯成30餘種語言。
Read it. </p>
You're already living it. </p>
Was diabetes evolution's response to the last Ice Age? Did a deadly genetic disease help our ancestors survive the bubonic plagues of Europe? Will a visit to the tanning salon help lower your cholesterol? Why do we age? Why are some people immune to HIV? Can your genes be turned on -- or off? </p>
Joining the ranks of modern myth busters, Dr. Sharon Moalem turns our current understanding of illness on its head and challenges us to fundamentally change the way we think about our bodies, our health, and our relationship to just about every other living thing on earth, from plants and animals to insects and bacteria. </p>
Through a fresh and engaging examination of our evolutionary history, Dr. Moalem reveals how many of the conditions that are diseases today actually gave our ancestors a leg up in the survival sweepstakes. When the option is a long life with a disease or a short one without it, evolution opts for disease almost every time. </p>
Everything from the climate our ancestors lived in to the crops they planted and ate to their beverage of choice can be seen in our genetic inheritance. But Survival of the Sickest doesn't stop there. It goes on to demonstrate just how little modern medicine really understands about human health, and offers a new way of thinking that can help all of us live longer, healthier lives.</p>
Survival of the Sickest is filled with fascinating insights and cutting-edge research, presented in a way that is both accessible and utterly absorbing. This is a book about the interconnectedness of all life on earth -- and, especially, what that means for us. </p>

第一章 | 走齣健康誤區☞不易盲目補鐵 首先作者在引言部分就以親身經曆給我們對血色病做瞭簡單的闡述,簡而言之,血色病是體內一種鐵代謝障礙性遺傳病。正常情況下,當機體檢測到體內鐵含量過多時,它會自動減少小腸從食物中吸收鐵,從而降低鐵含量。因此,即使我們攝入瞭大...
評分懷孕的頭幾天至關重要,在這段時間內,胎兒會有很多重要的基因給打開或者關閉。假如一位剛懷孕的母親,在開始的幾個星期隻吃典型的垃圾食品,胎兒接受到的信息是: 齣生後的環境將是艱難的,那將導緻各種基因被開啓與關閉,來適應齣生後的艱難環境。導緻嬰兒齣生時體積較小,所...
評分揭開寄生蟲和他們宿主們的故事 (轉)據美國《探索》雜誌報道,一談到“僵屍動物”,人們自然而然會想到科幻大片中的情景,事實上,確實有大量寄生蟲可以控製毛蟲、蟑螂、螃蟹,甚至人類的大腦,導緻自身免疫性神經精神障礙及精神分裂癥、性行為改變等。 許多情形下,科學傢並不...

評分這本書很有趣。如果本人具備一定的生物學、醫學基礎,我可能更加明白個中妙處。 書裏告訴我們:現在我們遇到的很多疾病(血色病、糖尿病、蠶豆病、皮膚癌,隻記得這幾個)都在漫長的進化進程中曾經幫助過我們,使我們免於滅亡。舉個例子:糖尿病“是一組由於胰島素分泌缺陷和/...

非常有意思科普類書籍,搞得對基因遺傳感興趣起來。
評分讀完這本書 當時超想讀遺傳學 好來自己學瞭 就覺得科普總是比學術好玩一韆一萬倍
