Congrets Dr Sean,
Do you have any information about evolution of circadian rhythm of high catecholamine and low melotonin state in the morning 6-12AM, which results in to a major risk for acute heart attack.
Why our body has failed to adapt?

Congratulations Indeed!
Professor Carroll is a tireless champion for evolution from elementary school through undergraduate education. At the same time he has provided some stunning evidence that evolution proceeds predominantly by selection on regulatory genes and regulatory proteins rather than by selection on mutations in structural (protein coding) genes.
