There's good information that they're trying to, uh, the problem is it comes slower than I would expect because they, they have to wait for a study, uh,

to show it over and over again before they, you know, before they'll intervene in a way that's, and that makes sense if it's dangerous intervention, but if it's an intervention like let mom hold her baby more, it doesn't seem like it's that dangerous to me.

We might not have to, and it might make sense from an evolutionary perspective, we might not have to wait for six multicenter studies to be done in order to conclude that that's a good idea. So, again, when it's a dangerous, potentially dangerous intervention, you want to have all those multicenter studies done. But doctors, in my opinion, for good reasons, are a little bit leery of theory.

Nobody wants their patients A doctor that's dreaming up a treatment for them in the shower the morning before, that's just, you know, kind of a wild speculation. Evidence is a good thing, but it can be overdone too. Doctors just, you know, medical students, they're just not taught evidence. the same way graduate students are in other scientific disciplines.

And of course, I'm partial to evolutionary theory and I really wish that it made its way into the licensing exams and it made it into the pre-med programs and all that. I was thinking about when I got into medical school, I had already had a PhD and I was teaching at University of Michigan And they let me in, which was great, but they said I had to go take an organic chemistry course.

So I went to the local community college and took that. And I've never really had to know any organic chemistry in anything I've ever done as a pediatrician. But rather than that, or at least in addition to that, I'd love to see pre-med programs include evolutionary biology courses. And I'd love to see continuing medical education include more evolutionary biology.

And I'd really love to see more evolutionary biology undergraduates decide to go to medical school. That would be a real boon to the discipline.
