The caption below the cartoon got me thinking... Intense craving for sugar, is a harmless and potentially beneficial adaptation for a human hunter-gatherer. This however, can be quite harmful for a city-dweller, and forces him to incessantly keep a watch over his impulses and frequently keep applying breaks. Is there an accepted or popular term for such adaptations which eventually turned into maladaptations as we civilised ourselves?
