Annika Gunst,My Sundén,Riikka Korja et al.
Annika Gunst et al.
Background and objectives: As the mother-offspring relationship is central to human reproduction, postpartum depression symptoms are difficult to explain in evolutionary terms. We proposed that postpartum depression might...

The author apply concepts and tools from evolutionary medicine to understanding the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The pandemic represents a mismatched conflict, with dynamics and pathology apparently driven by three main factors: (i) bat immune syst...
Anthropocene-related disease: The inevitable outcome of progressive niche modification? [0.03%]
人类世相关疾病：逐步生态位改变的必然结果？

Peter D Gluckman
While the Anthropocene is often discussed in terms of the health of the planet, there has been less attention paid to its impact on the health of humans. We argue that there is now sufficient evidence of broad and growing adverse effects on...
The impact of early life antibiotic use on atopic and metabolic disorders: Meta-analyses of recent insights [0.03%]

Background and objectives: The impact of antibiotics use early in life on later-in-life morbidities has received substantial attention as explanations for atopic and metabolic disorders with a surge as modern lifestyle di...
How evolutionary behavioural sciences can help us understand behaviour in a pandemic [0.03%]
进化行为科学如何帮助我们理解大流行期间的行为
Megan Arnot,Eva Brandl,O L K Campbell et al.
Megan Arnot et al.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought science into the public eye and to the attention of governments more than ever before. Much of this attention is on work in epidemiology, virology and public health, with most behavioural advice in public h...
