Tumorigenesis is commonly attributed to Darwinian processes involving natural selection among cells and groups of cells. However, progressing tumors are those that also achieve an appropriate group phenotypic composition (GPC). Yet, the sel...

Play is an essential part of childhood, and growing attention has focused on the potential health benefits of 'risky' or 'thrill-seeking' play. Such play behavior is readily observed on any playground, where it can sometimes lead to injurie...

Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) have been proposed to have a prophylactic function. In this review, I re-examine NVP from an evolutionary perspective in light of new research on NVP. First, current evidence suggests that the observed...
The Uncontrollable Mortality Risk Hypothesis: Theoretical foundations and implications for public health [0.03%]

The 'Uncontrollable Mortality Risk Hypothesis' employs a behavioural ecological model of human health behaviours to explain the presence of social gradients in health. It states that those who are more likely to die due to factors beyond th...
