The Story of the Human Body is a fascinating exploration of how human evolution has shaped the way our bodies function today. Drawing on anthropology, biology, and medicine, Daniel Lieberman explains how the human body evolved for a hunter-gatherer lifestyle and why many modern health problems arise from the mismatch between our ancient biology and contemporary habits. Covering topics such as diet, exercise, disease, and ageing, the book offers thought-provoking insights into human health, evolution, and the challenges facing our species in the modern world.
