Description

Explore the deep chasm between our ancient evolutionary blueprint and the complex realities of modern existence. This collection of seven essays meticulously dissects the bioenergetic costs and metabolic paradoxes that define human physiology, challenging prevailing notions of health, diet, and our very design. Uncover the profound implications of evolutionary mismatch on our bodies and minds.

Table of Contents
