Whether it’s cotton tee shirts or a pair of leopard-print leggings, fashion and science have been intertwined since people started to wear clothes. Even scientist, Sir George Darwin, son of naturalist Charles Darwin, compared the development of fashion to the adaptation of organisms and the theory of evolution in his 1872 article, Development of Dress: “A new invention bears a kind of analogy to a new variation in animals…those that are not really beneficial die away, and those that are really good become incorporated by "natural selection," as a new item in our system.” For instance, while modern hat wearers no longer regularly require free range of motion on the right side to wield a sword, that feather in your cap is placed on the left as a vestigial reconciliation between function and form.

Yet a report from the Academy of Medical Sciences published last month has found that two out of three people don't trust medical evidence, with the same number preferring to trust information from friends and families. With medicines being one of the most common healthcare treatments used, why do so many people distrust medical evidence? |
