The influence of evolutionary history on human health and disease

Mary Lauren Benton et al.

Summary: Genetic variants influencing disease risk have human-specific origins but are rooted in ancient systems from before human origins. Genetic, cultural, and environmental differences in modern human populations contribute to varying disease prevalence, and integrating evolutionary history with genetic medicine can help realize the potential of personalized genomics.

Pervasive duplication of tumor suppressors in Afrotherians during the evolution of large bodies and reduced cancer risk

Juan M. Vazquez et al.

Summary: Within species, cancer risk is related to body size and lifespan, but between species, there is no correlation, suggesting large, long-lived species have evolved enhanced cancer protection mechanisms. Gene duplication appears to play a role in the evolution of increased body size and reduced cancer risk in certain lineages like Proboscideans.

Gross ways to live long: Parasitic worms as an anti-inflammaging therapy?

Bruce Zhang et al.

Summary: Evolutionary medicine suggests that modern diseases may arise due to mismatches between our current environment and our evolved biology. Restoring commensal microbes and helminths may have therapeutic effects on allergic and autoimmune conditions, as well as age-related diseases such as inflammaging. Further research is needed to explore the potential broad-spectrum protective effects of worm infections against age-related illnesses.

Multi-step vs. single-step resistance evolution under different drugs, pharmacokinetics, and treatment regimens

Claudia Igler et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial treatment success is threatened by drug resistance evolution, which can follow two patterns: a single mutation with large resistance benefit or multiple mutations with small benefits combining to yield high-level resistance. Resistance evolution is substantially limited if more than two mutations are required, and adaptive treatment delays treatment failure longer than aggressive treatment if multiple mutations are necessary.

Understanding the evolution of multiple drug resistance in structured populations

David McLeod et al.

Summary: Studying the evolution of multidrug resistance (MDR) by focusing on the dynamical equations for linkage disequilibrium (LD) can simplify calculations, generate more insight, and provide a unified framework for understanding the role of population structure.

Scanning the human genome for signatures of positive selection: Transformative opportunities and ethical obligations

Margarita Hernandez et al.

Summary: The relationship between evolutionary anthropology and genetics is complex, with genetics being both integral to the discipline and facing challenges such as reluctance to embrace genetic data and over-assertions of genetic definitiveness. While genetics has been used to reinforce racism and colonialism, the identification of past positive selection through genome-wide scans has transformed the field, revealing local adaptation and convergent evolution in diverse populations. Ethical considerations surrounding the ubiquity of these studies and the cross-application of genome-wide scan approach to existing datasets are also discussed.
