I don't really know what to think about this book. It was interesting, but I think some diseases were explained more deeply than others. For example, I was expecting more about cancer, specially breast cancer and it was barely mentioned.

This book was something of a disappointment for me, perhaps because my expectations were not fulfilled. Rather than a broad view of how human evolution was affected by disease, it looks very narrowly and very closely at the mutual evolution of humanity and of some diseases. There was too much information about some things, and not enough on some broader topics. ( )
