The Story of the Human Body: Evolution, Health, and Disease

Daniel E. Lieberman, director of human evolutionary biology at Harvard University, and leaders in that field offered a clear and attractive explanation of the explanation in this epoch - making science 's popularization. Even if we show that increasing the difference between physical disability in our stone age and progress in modern world is triggering this paradox, how will the human evolve over millions of years .

"The story of the human body" presents unprecedented major changes in an unprecedented way, which has made important adjustments to the body: the emergence of bipedal walking behavior, nonfruit-based Transition to diet, the emergence of hunting and gathering. The highest endurance exercise capacity, very large brain development, and early stages of cultural proficiency. Lieberman also explains the differences between cultural evolution and biological evolution and how our body changed in the agricultural revolution and industrial revolution.

Lieberman creates a situation in which our bodies are not fully adapted while these continuing changes have many benefits and increases in the incidence of obesity and new innovations such as type 2 diabetes are inevitable I believe it will bring sickness. I will increase it. Lieberman suggests that many of these chronic diseases persist and in some cases are exacerbated by a harmful motive "revolution", only symptoms are treated, not the cause of these diseases. Finally - provocatively - he recommends using evolutionary information to promote, promote, and even to force support to build a more profitable environment.

Biological anthropology focuses on the physical aspects of human species. Biological anthropologists explore human evolution, health and disease, and behavior of nonhuman primates. They also work in related fields such as human genetics, diet and nutrition, and the impact of social stress on the body. Anthropology is essentially an interdisciplinary field. That subfield is intertwined with many other social sciences and natural sciences. One reason is that all anthropologists are aware of the importance of the following concepts: culture, cultural relativism, diversity, change, and holism.

Medical anthropology is an interdisciplinary field that studies "human health and disease, health management system, biocultural adaptation". It is believed that William Cordell was the first person discovering the field of medical anthropology. Currently, medical anthropology research is one of the major growth fields as anthropology as a whole. It focuses on the following six basic areas: the other topics that are the center of global medical anthropology are violence and social suffering (Farmer, 1999, 2003; Beneduce, 2010) and the body Other, including mental harm and suffering. It is not due to illness. Meanwhile, there are fields related to medical anthropology in research methodology and theoretical production, such as cultural person psychiatry, intercultural psychiatry, national psychiatry.

This medical anthropology course focuses on international / global health and explores human reactions to diseases and diseases. We are committed to understanding diverse health care systems, medical practices and ideas about diseases and bodies in cross-cultural contexts and understanding of health development paradigm, culture and epidemiology, fairness of world health and human rights issues Consider. Part of the course focuses on the world's pharmaceutical industry, women's health, and experiences of a variety of reality trauma-related barriers of social, cultural and political.
