Excerpt from Man-an Adaptive Mechanism
With the advance in natural science, which was inaugurated by the general acceptance of Darwin's theory of evolution, a tendency has developed to regard health and disease alike as natural phenomena subject to the same laws as those which govern other physical processes.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the theory that human biology, particularly the nervous system, evolved as an adaptive mechanism to environmental challenges. The author traces the ascent of man from ancestral origins through the lens of natural selection, highlighting the role of both physical and psychological adaptations in human survival. The book discusses concepts such as protective coloration, obliteration of form and color, and the development of the brain as a tool for overcoming environmental obstacles. The author argues that these adaptations were not consciously acquired but rather emerged as a result of the interaction between organisms and their environment over vast periods of time. The book concludes by emphasizing the significance of these insights for understanding human health and disease, suggesting that many chronic diseases may stem from excessive activation of the kinetic system, which was originally evolved for survival in a challenging environment.
