Some animal species have unique physiologies that may confer resistance to a range of high-impact modern human pathologies (8). These evolved physiological adaptations emerge in response to extreme challenges. The identification of species and the unique physiologies that limit vulnerability to disease can accelerate biomedical innovation. A systematic approach is needed to create a comprehensive phylogenetic map of vulnerability and resistance to disease.
