The "why" is as important as the "how" when dealing with humans.  The field of evolutionary biology is exciting, especially with how it could potentially effect medicine in the future.

I had to read this for a class, but I enjoyed every minute of it. It really solidified my interest in biomedical anth. It makes you think quite differently about illness - as well as giving you some interesting facts to throw into conversations.
