How Has Human Evolution Shaped the Delicate Balance between Bleeding and Clotting? – Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis

Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Massimo Franchini et al., adding:

“How has human evolution shaped the delicate balance between bleeding and clotting?

A new review in Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis explores the evolutionary forces that have influenced the human coagulation system, highlighting how genetic adaptations that once improved survival may contribute to thrombotic risk today.

The article discusses key examples, including Factor V Leiden, and examines the complex relationship between hemorrhage, thrombosis, and human health across generations.”
