NESCent (The National Evolutionary Synthesis Center) is sponsoring a range of targeted activities in the general area of Evolutionary Medicine. As part of this program, NESCent is seeking to support a Working Group focusing on the development and implementation of model curricula and curriculum materials in Evolutionary Medicine to support teaching of undergraduates, and students in medicine, nursing, public health and medical research. The resources developed should show how evolutionary principles play an important role in understanding health and disease, and ideally, should span a wide breadth of medical disciplines.

NESCent Working Groups involve small groups of scientists (10-12 participants) collaborating intensively on the analysis or synthesis of data, models or both, to address a major question in evolutionary science. The working groups will typically meet 3-4 times over two years, with each meeting lasting 3-5 days. Meetings will be held at NESCent in Durham, North Carolina. Support includes travel, lodging and per diem.

I am putting the finishing touches to an eight chapter book on Nutritional Medicine (NM) for health professionals. I explain in the first chapter why an evolutionary context is crucial to understanding NM and why the paleolithic diet should be considered a “gold standard”. Although an evidence based approach is important in medical science, Where evidence is thin on the ground and controversial, the evolutionary context may be the deciding factor. I explain all this in my first chapter, with examples.
I am an English GP and fellow of the Royal College of General Practitioners and in 2005 I completed a masters degree in NM.
Hello
Your book sounds interesting. Perhaps you already know him but you should contact (if you don’t) Professor Jonathan Wells at the Institute of Child Health. He works on nutrition and health and takes an explicityly evolutionary perspective.
With best wishes
