Starting new article, "Evolutionary medicine"

For the Nov07 Write-a-Thon, I started new article, "Evolutionary medicine". Need to work on references to give links to abstracts and/or full-text. --Anthony.Sebastian (Talk) 18:43, 7 November 2007 (CST)

Superb idea. A small technical issue: 

       * Lewis Wolpert:  The evolutionary biology of depression

and 

       * Ed Hagen:  The bargaining model of suicidality

both have the following as abstracts: 

           "It has recently been proposed that depression and suicidality might be bargaining strategies... a hypothesis I test... As predicted by the bargaining hypothesis, in a large subgroup of cases there is clear recognition by all parties involved that suicidality is meant to apply pressure in intense social disputes. In many cases, the strategy works, yielding benefits for the suicidal individual."

Thanks again for starting this article! Pierre-Alain Gouanvic 15:54, 17 November 2007 (CST)
