A landmark book of popular science—a lucid, engaging account of how the human body evolved over millions of years and of how the increasing disparity between the jumble of adaptations in our Stone Age bodies and the modern world is fueling the paradox of greater longevity but more chronic disease.
In a book that illuminates, as never before, the evolutionary story of the human body, Daniel Lieberman deftly examines the major transformations that contributed key adaptations to the body: the advent of bipedalism; the shift to a non-fruit-based diet; the rise of hunting and gathering and our superlative endurance athletic abilities; the development of a very large brain; and the incipience of modern cultural abilities. He elucidates how cultural evolution differs from biological evolution, and how it further transformed our bodies during the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions. Lieberman illuminates how these ongoing changes have brought many benefits, but also have created novel conditions to which our bodies are not entirely adapted, resulting in a growing incidence of obesity and new but avoidable diseases, including type-2 diabetes. He proposes that many of these chronic illnesses persist and in some cases are intensifying because of "dysevolution," a pernicious dynamic whereby only the symptoms rather than the causes of these maladies are treated. And finally—provocatively—he advocates the use of evolutionary information to help nudge, push, and sometimes oblige us to create a more salubrious environment.

读后感
减肥这件事，喊口号的人永远比付诸实践的多，锲而不舍成效斐然的更是寥寥无几。顶不住美食的诱惑，窝在沙发里不想挪步，也无需自责。哈佛大学生物学教授丹尼尔·利伯曼用进化生物学理论告诉我们，减肥失败简直是必然，成功的才是例外。 《人体的故事：进化、健康与疾病》选题非...
评分文|轻禅 近些年，人类患罕见病的概率似乎上升了，尤其是一些很难治愈的疾病，譬如2型糖尿病、心脏病、癌症等。不知从何时起，这些疾病成为如今人类的困扰。据报道称，到2045年，人群中患有癌症的比例可达到1/3，这可怕的数字，实在是让人心惊胆颤。面对病魔，人类首先想到...

评分一、现代人的身体是不断进化的结果 进化发生的一个重要因素是：环境要足够的恶劣。 大容量的大脑在让人类有较大的进化优势的同时，需要有足够的能量来供应其运行。 在原始条件下，环境非常恶劣，人类不得不面临一个很大的问题：那就是很可能会有较长的一段时间找不到吃的。对此...
评分作者类似观点在其他书中看到过，但本书更系统全面、娓娓道来，还有实验支撑，也比较谨慎。 1.实践：作者是著名的赤足跑教授，本书也提到鞋子是足部疾病的元凶，远古人类是长时间赤足跑的高手，会更好调节跑步姿势，也能更好感受地面；作者知行合一，对于暂时无法验证的理论，至...

道理不错，但感觉太重复，可以精炼到1/3
评分基本上是一本很粗略的人类衣食住行进化史，对我最大的意义是解答了为啥现代美国人长那么胖
评分We must cultivate our bodies. 说白了还是多吃蔬菜瓜果、少坐多运动，抵制自己想吃sweet、fat的深加工食品，享受rest and relaxation的instinct。现代病都是现代化带来的“恶果”，重拾原始人的diet和运动量。
