«Los orígenes de las enfermedades humanas» is Thomas McKeown's essay in paperback, published by Editorial Triacastela (320 pages, in Spanish).
McKeown explains how human diseases changed from prehistory to industrialization: progress reduced some ailments but favored others, such as alcoholism linked to agriculture, cancer and cardiovascular diseases, and obesity as a disease of opulence.
Published in June 2006 within the Humanidades Médicas collection. Thomas McKeown was emeritus professor of Social Medicine at the University of Birmingham.
For readers interested in a critical and synthetic perspective on the history of human health and disease.
