With an evolutionary perspective as its basis, this exciting 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 definedTHEi Wiley ebooks.Nutritionally induced diseasesHuman evolutionDiet in diseasePrehistoric peoplesFoodNutritionally induced diseases.Human evolution.Diet in disease.Prehistoric peoplesFood.362.196/39Lindeberg Staffan1950-926089MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910139959703321Food and Western disease2079197UNINA
