What are humans adapted for? Upstanding apes: how we became bipeds Much depends on dinner: how the Australopiths partly weaned us off fruit The first hunter-gatherers: how nearly modern bodies evolved in the human genus Energy in the ice age: how we evolved big brains along with large, fat, gradually growing bodies A very cultured species: how modern humans colonized the world with a combination of brains plus brawn Progress, mismatch and dysevolution: the consequences-good and bad-of having paleolithic bodies in a post-paleolithic world Paradise lost?: the fruits and follies of becoming farmers Modern times, modern bodies: the paradox of human health in the industrial era The vicious circle of too much: why too much energy makes us sick Disuse: why we are losing it by not using it The hidden dangers of novelty and comfort: why everyday innovations can damage us Survival of the fitter: can evolutionary logic help cultivate a better future for the human body?
