DANIEL LIEBERMAN THE STORY OF THE HUMAN BODY SERIES
A number of shows I've produced for that series have literally changed my life. So, I was excited when Doug told us a few years ago that he wanted to do a series about new ideas on health and fitness.

It can be so difficult to know how we should eat, how we should exercise, how we should use our bodies. Like a lot of people, I struggle with body image issues, and I have for a long time. Here's what producer Benjamin Bombard has to say about the episode: His new book is called The Story of the Human Body: Evolution, Health and Disease . He has written more than a hundred articles, many of which have appeared in the journals Nature and Science. Lerner II Professor of Biological Science at Harvard University. He joins us to explore the story of the human body.ĭaniel Lieberman is a professor of human evolutionary biology and the Edwin M. Lieberman says the human body is in many ways a Stone Age creation, better suited to the demands of a hunter-gatherer lifestyle than to 9-to-5 office work. But what exactly is the human body adapted for? The evolutionary biologist Daniel Lieberman poses and attempts to answer that question in a new book. His research and discoveries have been highlighted in newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Boston Globe, Discover, and National Geographic.Like every other organism on the planet, humans evolved over thousands of years to survive and thrive under rather specific circumstances. He has written nearly 100 articles, many appearing in the journals Nature and Science, and his cover story on barefoot running in Nature was picked up by major media the world over. The Story of the Human Body, by one of our leading experts, takes us on an epic voyage' - Neil Shubin, author of Your Inner Fish 'Riveting, enlightening, and more than a little frightening' - Christopher McDougall, author of Born to Run Daniel Lieberman is the Chair of the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard and a leader in the field. How is the present-day state of the human body related to the past? And what is the human body's future? 'Monumental. The Story of the Human Body asks how our bodies got to be the way they are, and considers how that evolutionary history - both ancient and recent - can help us evaluate how we use our bodies. Never have we been so healthy and long-lived - but never, too, have we been so prone to a slew of problems that were, until recently, rare or unknown, from asthma, to diabetes, to - scariest of all - overpopulation. Our 21st-century lifestyles, argues Daniel Lieberman, are out of synch with our stone-age bodies. It's also normal to spend much of your time nursing, napping, making stone tools, and gossiping with a small band of people. From an evolutionary perspective, if normal is defined as what most people have done for millions of years, then it's normal to walk and run 9 -15 kilometres a day to hunt and gather fresh food which is high in fibre, low in sugar, and barely processed. In The Story of the Human Body, Daniel Lieberman, Professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard, shows how we need to change our world to fit our hunter-gatherer bodies This ground-breaking book of popular science explores how the way we use our bodies is all wrong.
