Dr. Warren Wilson is a biological anthropologist who tries to understand what influences health in developing countries. In doing so, he considers health in light of physiology, culture, and evolution. He includes culture as decades of research have demonstrated that behaviour strongly influences health and that only by understanding cultural contexts can we begin to provide sustainable solutions. He includes evolution as it can explain both why bodies work so well and why many aspects of bodies seem to be so vulnerable to failure.
