Includes Praise for The Story of the Human Body; About the Author; Dedication; Preface; Introduction: What Are Humans Adapted For?; Acknowledgments; Notes and Index. Illustrated with black-and-white drawings and graphs. "Fascinating . A readable introduction to the whole field and great on the making of our physicality." - Nature. "In this landmark book of popular science, Daniel E. Lieberman gives us a lucid and engaging account of how the human body evolved over millions of years. He illuminates the major transformations that contributed to key adaptations of the body: the rise of bipedalism; the shift to a non-fruit-based diet; the advent of hunting and gathering; and how cultural changes like the Agricultural and Industrial revolutions have impacted us physically. He shows how the increasing disparity between the jumble of adaptations in our Stone Age bodies and advancements in the modern world is occasioning a paradox: greater longevity but increased chronic disease. And finally - provocatively - he advocates the use of evolutionary information to help nudge, push, and sometimes even compel us to create a more salubrious environment and pursue better lifestyles." - from the rear outer cover. "Sweeping .Convincingly makes the case for a wholesale rethinking of how we live our modern lives." - CommonHealth, WBUR. "[Lieberman's] found a tale inside our skin that's riveting, enlightening, and more than a little frightening." - Christopher McDougall, author.
