Will I love Zoobiquity?

Diseases are frequently handled as though they are just "out of the condition" and considered as such.

This frequently results in a superficial understanding of the underlying causes of the disorders. In an effort to explore the problem from an evolutionary standpoint, Zoobiquity takes readers to many diseases occurring in both animals and humans, showing their shared roots.

It's an eye-opener for readers who aren't familiar with evolutionary medicine with a clear implication for how we can tackle human diseases more effectively.

Zoobiquity is like no other book about human biology.

The authors describe how an understanding of the physiology of other animals can impact human health. I’ll never forget how the author relates the concept of capture myopathy (the surge of adrenaline an animal experiences when captured that can damage its heart) to the condition of sudden infant death syndrome in humans.

The book will leave you feeling like some degree of veterinary training should be compulsory for all medical doctors!
