Cancer, Cooperation, and Survival: Rethinking Disease Through Evolution

In this study, I explore how cancer risk is distributed across the animal kingdom, emphasizing the role of life-history traits, reproductive strategies, and social behavior in shaping susceptibility to disease. Drawing on recent findings in comparative oncology, the article examines patterns that challenge traditional assumptions, such as the relationship between body size and cancer, and highlights evolutionary mechanisms that may confer resistance in certain species.
