Why do we age, suffer from allergies, or develop cancer? Why are we burdened with genetic diseases? Dr. Leticia Avilés, Associate Professor of Zoology at UBC, believes we can use Darwins theory of evolution to make us healthier. Her talk will consider how basic evolutionary principles can provide insights into human disease and treatment.

  • I remember her from a documentary called The Future is Wild which I've had on a DVD for 6 years

  • Darwin hated hospitals. We cannot use science to help the unfit overcome natural selection weeding them out. To Darwin hospitals violated laws of nature which never change. The destitute should die. We should not assist those in Haiti. We must not assist others.
