We kindly invite PhD students and their supervisors, other junior and senior scientists, medical residents, and undergraduate students from different fields of research to take part at this international interdisciplinary scientific event, which will be held at the Old Cam- pus of Vilnius University from the 5th to the 10th of June 2018. Special focus will be placed on worldwide changes in the human body, the general health status, and diseas- es during the last 100 years. Conferences on Evolutionary medicine have been organized at Vilnius University biannually since 2012. Evolutionary thinking for medical students at Vilnius Universi- ty has been implemented since the 1960s–1970s by the anatomist and anthropologist Professor Salezijus Pavilonis. However, stressing the importance of the evolutionary approach while judging about health and disease grew steadily and was launched via collaboration with Professor Wulf Schiefenhövel from Max Planck Institute in Ger- many. The present Conference will bring together participants from different areas of research (medicine, anthropology, biology, psychology, physical sciences, and others) to discuss changes in the general health status and diseases in relation to different envi- ronments, and to deeper fathom out the evolutionary mechanisms of current diseases. Keynote speakers from Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Croatia, France, Germa- ny, Great Britain, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Switzerland, and the USA will share their experience and knowledge with young and established scientists. During the last hundred years, the accumulation of scientific knowledge led to in- creasing specialization by fragmenting many research fields into smaller and rather narrow disciplines or sub-disciplines in order to gain a thorough understanding of many scientific questions. Due to rapid technical advances, biomedical science has de- veloped at an unprecedented stride as well. For many years, biomedical research was carried out mainly within the boundaries of one department (a multidisciplinary ap- proach to many research problems prevailed). Today, however, the development of new methods, the abundance of scientific knowledge, and the needs for high expertise in different fields
