  "textContent": "Frequent burn exposure may have driven human genetic adaptations that improve healing but worsen severe injury outcomes. Humans may have been shaped in part by an unexpected force: repeated exposure to high-temperature burn injuries. New research suggests this long history has influenced how the body repairs damage, responds to infection, and reacts under severe trauma. [...]",
