The Evolution Trap. Why Our Body Hurts

This book does not intend to instill a sense of guilt in you. Atherosclerosis, lung diseases, or cavities will not be discussed here. The author does not intend to criticize your diet or how much you exercise. Alex Bezzerides explains the biological imperfections of humans that arose during evolution and now predictably let us down. The author will talk about the nature of crooked teeth, poor eyesight, strains and sprains, torn ligaments, choking, flat feet, back pain, spinal curvature, menstruation, infertility, painful breastfeeding, and childbirth. "I bet at least one of the following statements about you is true: you have had your wisdom teeth removed, you wear glasses or contact lenses, you snore, your legs hurt, your back hurts. If you are unlucky, all of these statements may be true. Illnesses do not only afflict the elderly."
