摘要
Examples quoted by biologists, in order to show how natural selection is working, almost present structures or functions concerned either with protection against natural forces or against predators, or with purchase of food or mates. The Author suggests that the struggle against diseases, and especially infectious diseases, has been a very important evolutionary agent and that some of its results have been rather unlike those of the struggle for life in its common meaning.
