The Proof with Simon Hill

CHAPTER

What Is Evolutionary Anthropology?

Herman: This is going to be a fantastic episode. I started your book about three weeks ago and I couldn't put the thing down. It's been fun doing the work last decade or so in this area. What I thought would be a great way to unpack some of the major themes throughout the book is to sort of split this conversation into three sections. The first being the anthropology and exploring what we know about how our ancestors ate and lived. Then we can jump into the constrained energy expenditure model and what you've found through your time with the hards areAbout metabolism and the utility of food and exercise in promoting healthy body weight.
