Linkbait title, but the (I'm being generous here) thesis is this: the human species has lost prowess (strength, endurance, intelligence) by shifting from our "native" hunter-gatherer diet and activity level, to a sedated lifestyle based upon agriculture.
- javert 17y agoI don't think this is about activity and lifestyle. I think the thesis is that eating primarily grains had a lot of negative health consequences for people, as opposed to eating primarily meat and foraging.
