Abstract EN
Evolutionary medicine is the application of evolution theory to understanding health and disease.
It provides a complementary scientific approach to the present mechanistic explanations that dominate medical science, and particularly medical education.
The chronic multifactorial disease of atherosclerosis clearly illustrates the Darwinian paradigm.
Recent research, combining the effects of genes and environment, has provided surprising clues to the pathogenesis of this major public health problem.
This example makes a strong case for recognizing evolution biology as a basic science for medicine.
