Our diet is changing faster than our biology

Our modern environment is nothing like the one we evolved for. In our latest video, we speak with Daniel Lieberman, palaeoanthropologist and author of Fed Up, to explore how this mismatch has led to some of the greatest health challenges of our time.

From ultra-processed foods to body fat, Lieberman explains why nothing in diet and health makes sense except in light of evolution.

What is the optimal diet and physical activity level according to evolution? And how can false evolutionary reasoning lead to untenable dieting? Join us as we feast on millions of years of human evolution, and how it never prepared us for modern life.
