Your classmate will be doing a presentation on evolutionary medicine in science class. What is he likely to discuss?
A. The role of natural selection in the development of antibiotic resistance.
B. The use of genetic engineering to cure diseases.
C. The influence of evolution on human health and disease.
D. The application of evolutionary principles to medical research.
Answer (3)
