In lines of The Survival of the Fittest which was coined by Herbert Spencer in 1864 as a sequel to Darwin's theory of natural selection, this book presents why some diseases as we know today are there. Are they truely diseases or genetic survival techniques for the human race? The author gives quite a few reasons why certain diseases as we know them are mere survival genetic activities in the gene pool. It's like reading a science fiction on human existence.
Excellent book to read and will definitely make you think.
