Abstract
Robert L. Perlman, Evolution & Medicine
Highlights
In 2012, there were 834 769 active physicians in the USA
By my generous and unscientific estimate, I would say that physicians outnumber researchers with a primary interest in evolutionary medicine by more than 1000 to 1
Evolutionary Medicine is emerging as a vibrant research field of its own, with international meetings devoted to the topic, its own journal, and a steady stream of book-length treatments of the topic
Summary
In 2012, there were 834 769 active physicians in the USA (http://kff.org/other/state-indicator/totalactive-physicians/). By my generous and unscientific estimate, I would say that physicians outnumber researchers with a primary interest in evolutionary medicine by more than 1000 to 1. In his new book Evolution & Medicine, Robert Perlman sets out to address this important audience.
