Chapter 23.4, Problem 3R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The way, in which emerging diseases can be identified using the principles of evolutionary biology.
Introduction:
Most of the human diseases are caused due to the evolution of living organisms. They provide a good target for the tests carried out in modern medical techniques. The biologists can track the evolution of the same and develop techniques for the control of these human diseases. The study of genomes helps to advance the studies of the biologists and increasing their understanding of disease and its treatment.
