Evolution and disease Lecture

Abstract

A concept concerning the role of evolution in human disease is presented on the basis of literature data and own clinical and experimental observations. According to our understanding, a seeming inadequacy of many chronic pathologic processes is based on the fact that such processes have emerged and became reinforced in the course of evolution primarily as the compensatory tools aimed to override the acute, but not chronic, pathological processes. Since in the course of natural selection, chronic diseases were not a factor of evolution, we believe that the inability to fix chronic disease by means of natural evolution could be fixed only by the technological evolution.
