Clinical implications of the discovery that sex hormones are far higher in modern societies
Clinical implications of the discovery that sex hormones are far higher in modern societies
Join the Center for Evolution and Medicine for a special, evening event on March 20 for health professionals and community supporters, sponsored by the Evolution and Medicine Alliance. This series of events exists to bring Arizona physicians together with evolutionary biologists to address current clinical challenges, and to create a network of health care professionals who want to use the principles of evolutionary biology to improve human health.
This event brings two clinicians from the Mayo Clinic with expertise in sex hormone replacement therapy together with an evolutionary biologist who has discovered that hormone levels of people living in the Bolivian jungle are vastly lower than those seen in clinical practice here, and that they also have much lower rates of some diseases.
