Nutrition science is a highly fractionated, contentious field with rapidly changing viewpoints
on both minor and major issues impacting on public health. With an evolutionary perspective as
its basis, this excitinp book provides a framework by which the discipline can finally be
coherently explored.

By looking at what we know of human evolution and disease in relation to the diets that humans
enjoy now and prehistorically, the book allows the reader to begin to truly understand the link
between diet and disease in the Western world and move towards a greater knowledge of what can
be defined as the optimal human diet.
