Abstract
We review recent evidence for a growing number of discrepancies between our contemporary existence and evolutionary history which have the potential to impair and undermine features of human mental and physical health. Included in this review are health issues related to bottle feeding, caesarian section, infection, cleanliness, fever, exercise, diet, mate choice, contraception, semen sampling, and body odor suppression.
