Description

This rigorous collection bridges the gap between primitive evolutionary pressures and modern metabolic science. Across fifteen deeply researched essays, you will examine the delicate balance between muscle, fat, and longevity. Discover how ancient biological imperatives continue to dictate our modern physical limits and potential.
