Course Overview

Why do people get cancer? How does someone get the flu or allergies? Why do we usually get a fever or a cough when we get sick? Why do we get sick at all? If any of these questions have ever crossed your mind, then the Evolutionary Medicine: Microbes, Medicine, and Humanity's Quest for Survival course by edX is for you.

The Evolutionary Medicine course will enable you to understand human health better. You will be looking at advanced medicine through the lenses of anthropology and evolutionary biology. Topics covered under the curriculum include ageing, mortality, diseases (autoimmune, infectious, and metabolic), human migration, and behavioural/physiological mechanisms of immunity.

With the edX Evolutionary Medicine programme, you will see how humans and microbes have co-evolved for millennia. This course will take you back in time and show you how our evolutionary past affects our health to this day. Students will know how cultural and societal factors influence disease risk and address the health challenges currently emerging across the globe.
