There is a growing recognition that something is wrong with physical, mental, and social health in the Western world. The present approach identifies the reason for this troubling trend as a subtle but lethal evolutionary discrepancy in the context of sexual selection. The psychological, reproductive, and biological consequences, and the ensuing impact on social, political, and cultural structures, must now be seen as the root cause of both Western diseases (Part I) and other critical challenges (Part II).
Part I presents a fundamentally new interpretation of prostate cancer, based on a systematic and broad-based case review of the evidence. Part II surveys the underlying cultural, social, and political developments since the 1990s. Three novel frameworks are introduced:
MICUL: A theory and model that identify the role of the mind and culture in the origin and spread of diseases. The book traces and analyzes the combined impact of sexual selection, sexual conflict, social stress, and power structures.
CCSS: A sexual selection matrix structured around the trade-off between competition and cooperation within and across the sexes. The model builds upon and extends Darwin’s seminal work, The Descent of Man (1871).
FemUtoLand: A model of a utopian society regulated by power dynamics rooted in sexual selection. This analysis method has shown high accuracy in predicting Western politics and culture between 1993 and 2024
The findings of the study reveal an urgent need to focus on new directions to understand and confront the Western health crisis.
