Your Body By Darwin

An evolutionary understanding of our bodies throws new light on why we get ill and how to cure disease. Jeremy Taylor reveals compelling insights from the rapidly developing field of Darwinian medicine.

Jeremy Taylor (@taylorjeremyg) has enjoyed a long career in BBC public broadcasting, specialising in science. Now a science writer, this lecture is based on his second book Body by Darwin.

Dr Ann Robinson (@annrobi62395918) is a GP and health writer for the Guardian. Dr Robinson is aso BMJ masterclass chair and presenter, and trustee of the Anthony Nolan charity.

LSE's Centre for Philosophy of Natural and Social Science(CPNSS), established in 1990, promotes research into philosophical, methodological and foundational questions arising in the natural and the social sciences, and their application to practical problems. The Centre's work is inherently interdisciplinary, and a full calendar of events contributes to a lively intellectual environment.
