Your classmate will be doing a presentation on evolutionary medicine in science class. what is he likely to discuss?
the ability of pathogens to resist treatments
the development of new medical technology
the production of less expensive medicines
the importance of a patient's medical history

The correct answer is the ability of the pathogens to resist treatments.  

A rapidly developing field, which utilizes the principles of evolutionary biology to better comprehend, treat, and prevent disease, and that utilizes studies of disease to progress fundamental knowledge in evolutionary biology is known as evolutionary medicine.  

One of the domains of evolutionary medicine is to study how the organisms evolve and adapt. This can be illustrated by considering the fact that the overuse of antibiotics eventually makes the bacteria and pathogens more resistant against it, that is, they get to evolve as they adapt themselves against the antibiotics.  

an adaptation is a change or process by which an organism takes to be better suited for its environment. for example; migration is a behavioral adaptation, this is needed because birds are not built to last extremely cold climates. there are different adaptations because there are different species needing to adjust to different things, bears don't migrate; they hibernate.
