Diametrical diseases reflect evolutionary-genetic tradeoffs: evidence from psychiatry, neurology, rheumatology, oncology and immunology
Tradeoffs centrally mediate the expression of human adaptations. We propose that tradeoffs
also influence the prevalence and forms of human maladaptation manifest in disease. By …
