This ambitious text is the result of a conference held in Switzerland in April 1997 which brought together many of those who are leading the quest for evolutionary answers to the problems of modern medicine. It aims to bring evolutionary biology to the attention of those involved in medical education and research and make doctors 'consider evolutionary thinking a standard part of their toolkit'.
