Biography
I am an undergraduate student interested in health and disease, both in modern and ancient populations. I am specially focused on how cultural and biological evolution shape the human body as a response to disease, and how human behavior both influences and is influenced by evolution. Additionally, I am concerned with the possible application of theories on modern human behavior related to health and disease to ancient populations, in an attempt to highlight human agency in the past.
