March 27 Radio Show: Survival of the Sickest! – Emotional Pro
March 27th, 2008
Dr. Sharon Moalem, who holds a doctorate in human physiology, as well as in the emerging fields of neurogenetics and evolutionary medicine, discusses ideas from his new release, Survival of the Sickest. Dr. Moalem looks at our evolutionary history, discussing how many of the conditions that are diseases today actually gave our ancestors a leg up in the survival sweepstakes. He indicates how little modern medicine really understands about human health.
Dr. Robert A. Fink, F.A.C.S., a neurosurgeon with nearly 40 years’ experience, responds to Dr. Moalem’s ideas and concerns, discussing illness and medicine from the point of view of modern scientific medicine, including his own historical take on some common human illnesses.
