Summary:"This book provides a novel perspective on the way of understand why we have diseases. Yun-Chul Hong persuasively argues that diseases are caused by failure of our genes to adapt to environmental changes. After agricultural revolution and subsequent civilization, humanity has experienced environmental changes that occurred at an unprecedented rate sine the emergence of hominids on earth. Particularly, industrial revolution brought drastic changes in our environments and lifestyles. This argument gives a wonderful insight into the concept of disease, widening our epistemic scope."--
