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.

This book illustrates the development of the human body on some fascinating topics like mismatch diseases, medicine, natural selection v.s. cultural evolution, etc. With the understanding of why our bodies the way they are from an evolutionary perspective, I'm hoping I'll make more rational choices when it comes to choose diet and lifestyle.
评分道理不错，但感觉太重复，可以精炼到1/3
评分不少疾病是进化跟不上社会变迁的表现。关节不好，最好的治疗方式可能是光脚跑步，锻炼腿部脚步肌肉。
评分一本关于人类进化的好书，但许多养生理论知易行难，明知道太咸太甜太懒太舒服对人体都不好，但是要吃得清淡又动的勤快实在太麻烦了。
评分不少疾病是进化跟不上社会变迁的表现。关节不好，最好的治疗方式可能是光脚跑步，锻炼腿部脚步肌肉。
