[Correspondence] Practical applications of evolutionary biology in public health

Jonathan Wells and colleagues,1 Grazyna Jasienska and colleagues,2 and Graham Rook and colleagues3 are to be congratulated on producing a fascinating and thought-provoking Series on how evolutionary biology could contribute to public health. The key insight that our goal in life might be reproductive success, rather than longevity, provides a means to re-conceptualise public health and could inform some of the major conundrums in global public health.
