Hybrid animals often have lower fitness than individuals of their parent species (Harrison 1993 and references therein) as a result of incompatible genetic combinations, such as Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibilities (Dobzhansky 1937, Muller 1942, Bolnick and Near 2005), mismatched chromosomes (Shaw and Wilkinson 1980, Searle 1993), incompatible cellular organelles (e.g.

Drawing on the work of evolutionary biologist and geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky, the author considers parallels between human evolution and the evolution of cancer cells, especially in light of longer human life spans.
