Darwinian Medicine
At the 2011 EHBEA conference we will have a special themed session on 'Darwinian Medicine' chaired by Sue Aitken.
Darwinian Medicine is a fascinating and developing area of evolutionary behavioural science which provides an invaluable perspective in the medical field. Innovations suggested by evolutionary theory have included treatment of Crohn’s disease using parasitic worms, withdrawal of AIDS medication for controlled periods, a greater understanding of antibiotic resistance and re-labelling mental disorders as being adaptive responses to environmental challenge.
Following presentations in this session there will be an open forum discussant where more general questions can be discussed in this exciting field.
If you would like to contribute to this session please quote 'Darwinian Medicine' in the comment box when submitting your abstract. As for all abstracts submission is open until December 10th.
