Evolving Human Nutrition

Implications for Public Health

Beschreibung

Exploring what it is to be human through a dietary lens, this book examines human nutrition, how it has evolved and how it influences health and disease past and present. It considers what a 'natural' human diet might be and how this has been affected by social transformations.
