This isn't just one module — it's the foundational lens of all cPNI thinking. Every module should be understood through evolutionary context:
- Why does the body respond this way? → Because it was adaptive ancestrally
- Why does this cause disease now? → Because the modern environment mismatches
- What's the intervention? → Restore evolutionary-consistent stimuli
Evolutionary medicine touches everything. Key intersections:
- Evolution ↔ Immune: Why inflammation exists, why it goes wrong
- Evolution ↔ Nutrition: Ancestral diet vs modern diet
- Evolution ↔ Psychology: Evolutionary psychology, ancestral social structures
- Evolution ↔ Lifestyle: Movement, sleep, cold, fasting as evolutionary norms
