Evolution Sunday 2015! 4th Week! Darwinian Medicine with Dr. Julie Wade

This year the theme for Evolution Sunday is Darwinian Medicine which applies modern evolutionary theory to health and disease.  If we are perfectly and wondrously made, then why do we get sick and why do certain diseases persist in our species?  Why doesn’t natural selection eliminate them over time?

By looking at OUR evolutionary history, we can gain an understanding of why we have such modern maladies as diabetes, plantar fasciitis, obesity, wisdom teeth trouble, and other conditions that plague our species.  Come and learn about the history of YOUR body and how you can perhaps improve your health for a better future.
