Index: Evolution ' s Clinical Guidebook

In the past few blogs, I ' ve been discussing the recent publication of my book,Evolution ’s Clinical Guidebook: Translating Ancient Genes Into Precision Medicine. The premise of this book is that modern medicine is based on an understanding of evolutionary processes. Evolution shows us the relationships between the subdisciplines of medicine that benefit directly from Precision Medicine (i.e., pathology, microbiology, clinical genetics, pharmacology, and bioinformatics). In Evolution ' s Clinical Guidebook, all of these diverse fields are brought together, under the subject of evolution. To illustrate, I have listed below the first few pages of the index to the book (letters A through H). Just by perusing these index terms, you can get some idea of the role played by evolution as the great unifier of modern medicine.Partial Book IndexAAbiogenesis catalysts, 2 cellular life, earliest signs of, 4 definition, 1DNA, 4 evolution, 2 life on earth, 1 natural selection, 2RNA, 4 ­5Acanthodians, 215Acarnus erithacus, 192, 192fAcidianus Tailed Virus, 160Acquired disease, 20, 29 ­30Actin, 17Actinistia, 216Actinopterygii, 215Adaptive immune system, 214Adaptive immunity, 161, 164Adenocarcinoma, 125, 126 ­127f Adult organisms, 94, 102Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum (ACC), 222Aging, 77, 216, 257 ­258, 261­265 vs. diseases of old people, 257­259 evolution of, 252­265 gene, 257­258Agnatha, 214Allele, 77Allium cepa, 66Allium ursinum, 66 alphaA-Crystallin, 18Alstrom syndrome, 213 ­21...
