Abstract
Abstract Evolutionary medicine is an integrative discipline, combining the fields of evolutionary biology, experimental research, and clinical medicine. Contributors to the field of evolutionary medicine today come from many schools of study. Anthropologists, biologists, physiologists, and ecologists work alongside historians of science and physician scientists, all of whom are represented in the present volume. A full integration of evolutionary thought into the education of medical students and seasoned physicians has been voiced by most of the field’s contributors. Incorporating an evolutionary perspective into medicine will most likely not change the daily activity of physicians, but it will help guide the thinking and types of questions a physician-scientist should ask, by adding an evolutionary dimension. Our aim for this volume is to support medical education that teaches evolutionary medicine as a seamless component of medical practice, rather than be considered a separate school of thought.
