HUNTER-GATHERER'S GUIDE TO THE 21ST CENTURY, A: EVOLUTION AND THE CHALLENGES OF MODERN LIFE

For evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein the cause of our woes is clear: the modern world is out of sync with our ancient brains and bodies. We evolved to live in clans but today many people don t even know their neighbours names. Survival in our earliest societies depended on living in harmony with nature but today the food we eat the work we do - even the light we absorb - is radically different from what our minds and bodies evolved to expect.

In this book Heying and Weinstein draw on decades of their work teaching in college classrooms and exploring earth s most biodiverse ecosystems to confront today s pressing social ills - from widespread sleep deprivation and dangerous diets to damaging parenting styles and backward education practices. A Hunter-Gatherer s Guide to the 21st Century outlines a science-based worldview that will empower you to live a better wiser life.
