This subject covers the evolutionary biological foundations of disease formation. It illustrates the underlying dynamicity of our gross morphology as human. Recommended for 2nd to 5th year students.

Aim of the course

Last update: Mgr. Jana Čechová (10.09.2020)

The aim of this subject is to widen the knowledge outside the scope of the classical clinical medicine. The focus is on the evolutionary mechanisms that brought medical complication into our biological system.

This subject covers the evolutionary biological foundations of disease formation. It illustrates the underlying dynamicity of our gross morphology as human.

Recommended for 2nd to 5th year students.

The aim of this subject is to widen the knowledge outside the scope of the classical clinical medicine. The focus is on the evolutionary mechanisms that brought medical complication into our biological system.

The course will take place once a week of 2 hours in 6 seminars, a practical dissection lab, and a museum visit.

1. Molecular and anatomical evolutionary mechanisms.

2. Evolutionary comparative anatomy.

3. Selected vertebrates dissection lab in comparison to human anatomy.

4. Human evolution and speciation.

5. Host-pathogen evolutionary interaction.

6. Propagation of mutations, chromosomal and morphological congenital defects.

7. Medical implications brought up by the upright standing.

8. Ethnicity in disease variable susceptibility.

Paleontology & Paleopathology (museum visit).
