The 'behavioural immune system' is composed of mechanisms that evolved as a means
of facilitating behaviours that minimized infection risk and enhanced fitness.
Recent empirical research on human populations suggests that these mechanisms
have unique consequences for many aspects of human sociality--including sexual
attitudes, gregariousness, xenophobia, conformity to majority opinion and
conservative sociopolitical attitudes. Throughout much of human evolutionary
history, these consequences may have had beneficial health implications; but
health implications in modern human societies remain unclear. This article
summarizes pertinent ways in which modern human societies are similar to and
different from the ecologies within which the behavioural immune system evolved.
By attending to these similarities and differences, we identify a set of
plausible implications-both positive and negative-that the behavioural immune
system may have on health outcomes in contemporary human contexts. We discuss
both individual-level infection risk and population-level epidemiological
outcomes. We also discuss a variety of additional implications, including
compliance with public health policies, the adoption of novel therapeutic
interventions and actual immunological functioning. Research on the behavioural
immune system, and its implications in contemporary human societies, can provide
unique insights into relationships between fitness, sociality and health.
