New discoveries reveal how crucial interactions which determine our
destiny occur before birth, when our genes interact with their
environment as the embryo and fetus develop. These processes - in
the matrix of the womb - are evolutionary echoes of mechanisms
which allowed our hunter-gatherer ancestors to survive. These
exciting insights into predictive adaptive responses suggest new
ways of protecting the health of the fetus, infant and adult. If
inappropriate they can trigger obesity, diabetes and heart disease,
formerly thought to result solely from adult lifestyle. The new
concepts in this book are crucial to understanding the daunting
public health burden in societies undergoing rapid transition from
poverty to affluence. They add an important new dimension to
evolutionary theory. Synthesising developmental biology,
evolutionary history, medical science, public health and social
policy, this is a ground-breaking and fascinating account by two of
the world's leading pioneers in this important emerging field.
