Abstract

Evolutionary medicine is a concept that arose mainly in the 1990s, and which applies evolutionary biological principles to human medical fields. For instance, evolutionary medicine proposed that there is an evolutionary mismatch between the human anatomy and physiology and novel, man-made environments, leading to the so-called diseases of civilization. Constraints exist on the process of natural selection, and evolutionary trade-offs can prevent traits from being optimal, leaving humans with traits that at first sight seem maladaptive
