Evolutionary science is indispensable for understanding biological processes.
Effective medical treatment must be anchored in sound biology. However, currently
the insights available from evolutionary science are not adequately incorporated
in either pre-medical or medical school curricula. To illuminate how evolution
may be helpful in these areas, examples in which the insights of evolutionary
science are already improving medical treatment and ways in which evolutionary
reasoning can be practiced in the context of medicine are provided. In order to
facilitate the learning of evolutionary principles, concepts derived from
evolutionary science that medical students and professionals should understand
are outlined. These concepts are designed to be authoritative and at the same
time easily accessible for anyone with the general biological knowledge of a
first-year medical student. Thus we conclude that medical practice informed by
evolutionary principles will be more effective and lead to better patient
outcomes.Furthermore, it is argued that evolutionary medicine complements general
medical training because it provides an additional means by which medical
students can practice the critical thinking skills that will be important in
their future practice. We argue that core concepts from evolutionary science have
the potential to improve critical thinking and facilitate more effective learning
in medical training.
