图书描述

A landmark book of popular science—a lucid, engaging account of how the human body evolved over millions of years and of how the increasing disparity between the jumble of adaptations in our Stone Age bodies and the modern world is fueling the paradox of greater longevity but more chronic disease.

In a book that illuminates, as never before, the evolutionary 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. He elucidates how cultural evolution differs from biological evolution, and how it further transformed our bodies during the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions. 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 proposes that many of these chronic illnesses persist and in some cases are intensifying because of "dysevolution," a pernicious dynamic whereby only the symptoms rather than the causes of these maladies are treated. And finally—provocatively—he advocates the use of evolutionary information to help nudge, push, and sometimes oblige us to create a more salubrious environment.

(With charts and line drawings throughout.)

晨跑时听完有声书。前六章讲人类进化，单独靠听很难记住，会再读一遍文字版。之后几个章节进入主题，从进化的角度看现代社会多发的一些慢性病（II型糖尿病、骨质疏松、肥胖、近视等），关键字mismatch + dysevolution.关于现代医学在治疗这些病时更关注缓解症状而非针对疾病根源的讨论很有启发性。人类进化多年来的本能还是难以抗拒啊，想要健康要有意识地克服一些现代社会提供的便利。这些都不是新知识了。加油吧自己。

一本关于人类进化的好书，但许多养生理论知易行难，明知道太咸太甜太懒太舒服对人体都不好，但是要吃得清淡又动的勤快实在太麻烦了。

不少疾病是进化跟不上社会变迁的表现。关节不好，最好的治疗方式可能是光脚跑步，锻炼腿部脚步肌肉。

This book illustrates the development of the human body on some fascinating topics like mismatch diseases, medicine, natural selection v.s. cultural evolution, etc. With the understanding of why our bodies the way they are from an evolutionary perspective, I'm hoping I'll make more rational choices when it comes to choose diet and lifestyle.
