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 elucidates how cultural evolution differs from biological evolution, and how it further transformed our bodies during the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions. In The 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. Learn why our bodies aren't adapted to the modern world in this animated book summary of The Story of The Human Body by Daniel Lieberman.
