An evolutionary perspective on human health and disease | Lara Durgavich

How does your genetic inheritance, culture and history influence your health? Biological anthropologist Lara Durgavich discusses the field of evolutionary medicine as a gateway to understanding the quirks of human biology -- including why a genetic mutation can sometimes have beneficial effects -- and emphasizes how unraveling your own evolutionary past could glean insights into your current and future health.

Many community should learn from this and stop marrying their cousins

I like Lara Durgavich. The Tay Sachs thing reminds me of Watson's Secret of Life, great read.

Anyone knows a book that connects evolution, diseases/ adaptations and history like the talk?

Honestly it's sad how this comment section is such a mess. She's got a point but yall just want to comment on her appearance.

I figured out that living your life like our hunter gatherer ancestors in certain ways was a good idea all on my own.
I'm certain that it is not a coincidence that our ancestors, as well as animals in nature, were and are perfectly healthy without listening to doctors, the government, some nutritionist or a multi billion dollar corporation telling them what to eat and how to be healthy, yet these days, practically 100 percent of people look to science and their doctor to tell them how to be healthy instead of looking at health from an evolutionary perspective.
What have we done to ourselves following this wisdom?
Cancer, heart disease, obesity, metabolic syndrome, vitamin D deficiency, poor nutrition, auto immune diseases, and just a bunch of diet and lifestyle related diseases are murdering us and making our health terrible.
Coincidence?

Interesting content but the sound quality is so poor it's nearly unwatchable

Joel 2:32
“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call

I remember reading a long time ago that the best way to extend the length of the human lifespan was to delay reproduction until in your 40s. Yes, there would be more problems for a while, but over time genetics and evolution would weed out the weaknesses and select for the strengths if we let it happen. The problem is the morality of letting it happen.

youtube has a funny sense of humor in this time

Now those claps don’t seem like they’re coming from a social distancing audience

I have a genetic disease, it causes degeneration in my eyes, in general in my central vision, but don’t is macular degeneration, according with the specialists in my country — Brazil. According with them, is degeneration of cells “cones e bastonetes” — in my language.

Maybe invest into a better water suplly and hygiene in general instead of doing vaxxines and stuff to profit from the countries

So much yet to explore in anthropology still its considered to be a dying field.
