Survival of the Sickest - Dr. Sharon Moalem

I have purchased this book from a book store in Koti, Hyderabad, in 2012. I had a knack of picking up books related to medicine and I truly loved this book! Here is my review:

SURVIVAL OF THE SICKEST takes you through a journey of your life as a cell and till you die. Written by Dr.Sharon Moalem with the assistance of Jonathan Prince, this book is was a huge hit when it released. It lets you explore the indepth knowledge of the functionality of our body. THE RELATION OF DISEASES AND HEALTH is explained wonderfully in this book. It leaves you mesmerised how a NETWORK/PUZZLE/MAZE of the causes of Different Diseases are eventually LINKED TO THE BETTERMENT of our Health.

The book is divided into many chapters, each relating our ancestral habits to our current status of evolution, in a chronological order. I would definitely recommend you to buy this book without a second thought, if you are truly interested in exploring your body.

Thanks for reading my review. Cheers!

Survival Of The sickest. The book started with the information on the genes which causes the diseases like Diabetes, plagues, HIV, Malaria etc.

These are the bad genes. which causes us these diseases. The origin if the these genes. Which conditions lead them to originate. what is the real meaning of the origination of these genes.

Each bad gene is detailed in the book.

There is an example. that. if a person had diabetes. so he or she has high sugar level. and in cold area. the blood freeze. but if a person who has high sugar level( person suffering from diabetes) can live there. as there blood will not freeze. so thats how in cold area. its an great example of the survival of the sickest.

There are others more examples like this. which shows. every bad genes. that is born / originated. is having a unique purpose .

The books asks so many questions. and answered he questions too. A very good read. a different one. and unique from others. Will recommend this book to everyone.
