How to avoid disease, how to breed successfully and how to live to a reasonable age, are questi*** that have perplexed mankind throughout history. This 2005 book explores our progress in understanding these challenges, and the risks and rewards of our attempts to find soluti***. From the moment of conception, nutrition and exposure to microbes or alien chemicals have c***equences that are etched into our cells and genomes. Such events have a crucial impact on development in utero and in childhood, and later, on the way we age, respond to infection, or the likelihood of developing chronic diseases, including cancer. The issues covered include the powerful influence of infectious disease on human society, the burden of our genetic legacy and the lottery of pr***ation. The author discusses how prospects for human life might continually improve as biomedicine addresses these problems and also debates the ethical checkpoints encountered.

　　How to avoid disease, how to breed successfully and how to

live to a reasonable age, are questi*** that have perplexed mankind

throughout history. This book explores our progress in

understanding these challenges, and the risks and rewards of our

attempts to find soluti***. From the moment of conception,

nutrition and exposure to microbes or alien chemicals have

c***equences that are etched into our cells and genomes. Such

events have a crucial impact on development in utero and in

childhood, and later, on the way we age, respond to infection, or

the likelihood of developing chronic diseases, including cancer.

The issues covered include the powerful influence of infectious

disease on human society, the burden of our genetic legacy and the

lottery of pr***ation. The author discusses how prospects for

human life might continually improve as biomedicine addresses these

problems and also debates the ethical checkpoints

encountered.

　　? Highly readable take on biomedical innovation, from prehistory

to the present ? Broad, multidisciplinary approach draws on

history, evolutionary biology and biomedicine ? Debates the ethical

checkpoints arising from biomedical advances
