Este libro, en lugar de preguntar por qué algunas personas se enferman, se pregunta por qué es que la selección natural, por qué la evolución nos dejó a todos tan vulnerables a las enfermedades mentales. El análisis del libro, buenas razones para los malos sentimientos. Arrancamos con este episodio de Bibliotequeando, como siempre les habla Ricardo Lugo, arroba bibliotequeando en las redes, pueden compartir este podcast, pedir sugerencias, darnos 5 estrellas en los reviews para seguir promoviendo este movimiento de aprender, crecer con la lectura a través de los libros. Este libro yo lo conseguí... During the pandemic, if you remember, of course, we all remember the lockdown, the numbers of depression, antidepressant consumption, suicide were rising.
Mentally, there was a global crisis and I was trying to get information on these issues and this book was a little different from all the others because it had this evolutionary angle, not only from someone who was an expert on the subject, but someone who founded the subject. Dr. Randolph Nesse is a doctor who was one of the first in the 90s to start promoting this idea that, as we all know, your body adapted according to the environment, physically speaking. But there were other things that also happened mentally that also apply to this. Evolutive psychology, for me, you always have to be a little careful because... Like everything. When you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And sometimes they analyze everything too much from an evolutionary point of view and don't take environmental factors, which of course have a lot of influence on the development of a person, on the diseases of a person, both physical and mental.
But he has a very particular angle for me in this book because he doesn't focus on... If he talks about anxiety, depression, which are the typical topics that people talk about, about why evolution left us with these problems or why we suffer from these problems. But then he touches on other topics, such as anorexia, jealousy in a relationship. Why does a man have only one orgasm? Normally, when you practice sex, the woman can have multiple or none. When you practice sex, why do those things happen and then affect you, both physically and mentally? And what if these mistakes or these health problems that we have mentally speaking, Son a propósito, que si tu cuerpo en verdad no le interesa mucho que tú sufras de estas cosas, prefiere que las tenga a que no las tenga.
Y ese es quizá el concepto más interesante de todo el libro. Así que empecemos con el resumen. that starts talking about natural selection, about the theory of evolution, which is something that I think everyone understands intuitively, so I'm not going to spend a lot of time explaining it, but what focuses on this section of the book is that yes, natural selection gives us many benefits, this ability to survive in different environments, the ability to have sensitive vocal cords, the opposite thumbs that allow us to develop art, artisanal wonders, communicate our deeper thoughts, nuestro sistema inmune que puede evitar, o mejor dicho, ayudar que una herida infectada se cure por sí sola, nosotros después con nuestra mente creando curas, vacunas para la polio, por ejemplo.
