5 Tounderstand the reasons for this return to our former

height it is necessary to look back on our history For most of our evolutionary past, ourgngestors got their food from Ổa wide variety of sources: while women were gathering herbs, fruits and berries, men were adding to our diet by Ổo killing wild animals One study found that the Ộhunter gatherersỖ used to have a diet of 95 different plants, for example

ỔThen, about 9,000 years ago, agriculture was invented Ở with disastrous results Most of our planet's green places ve were taken over by farmers, which meant that just three plants - wheat rice and maize ~ became the staple diet of the human race This left us smaller and less healthy Still, agriculture spread because a piece of farmland could support ten times the number of people who lived off 1tas zo hunter gatherers

MankindỖs future could be that of a couch potato, a lazy creature, with a taste for far too much junk food, comfortable sofas and home entertainment Some scientists say that not enough exercise will result in humans developing smaller skeletons and bodies which are too fat On the other hand, nowadays, in Europe, ỔAmerica and Japan, diets are beginning to be what they
