- (Visit: www.uctv.tv/) Tracing the evolution of the human diet from our earliest ancestors can lead to a better understanding of human adaptation in the past. It may also offer clues to the origin of many health problems we currently face, such as obesity and chronic disease. This fascinating series of talks focuses on the changing diets of our ancestors and what role these dietary transitions played in the evolution of humans. Here Clark Spencer Larsen (Ohio State Univ) discusses The Impact of Agriculture on Human Evolution, followed by Barry Bogin (Loughborough Univ) on The Impact of Globalization on Children's Nutrition and Alyssa Crittenden (Univ of Nevada, Las Vegas) on Current Hunter-Gatherer Diets.

Saturated fats are alwas good for health.
wooohhhooooo finally here!
Thus almost looks more like an association with prolonged nutritional deficiency from poor farming practices rather than simply because they started farming
When any revolution comes, it's outcomes are unpredictable. We only see the good and convenient sides of it, but the detrimental repercussions come slowly and sneak up on us. Industrial revolution is the same. It opened a whole new world to us - new jobs, new technology, new social and cultural norms, everything expanded. But now we can see and feel the detriments of it a few hundred years later. We have polluted the air, water and soil. Our food is toxic and we have decimated wildlife to a point where we can consider ourselves to be the cancer cells of this planet.
So, in future, I hope we can be more mindful of our actions when inventing, revolutionizing and applying new technologies. I hope we will be able to see further and not just think of convenience and exploitation, but rather find a template that serves both us and the nature around us.
Check out regenerative farming concepts, I think we can be farmers and still do good for the environment and us.
But if we continue with monoculture farming and industrial meat production, we are screwed :D
romans be short asf
In regard to analysing diets of modern hunter-gatherers living in area with little access to large herbivores tells us virtual nothing about how humans evolves with large brains and small colons 300-400k years ago.
We started evolving large brains and small colons 2-3 million years ago. The agricultural revolution came in about 12 000 years ago.
But I don't understand, why do you think that today's hunter-gatherers can't help us with understanding our evolution? They are a piece of the puzzle also
I hope you just use the metric system in science.
Another reminder that most of human activity, e.g. big corporations, etc., is not worth doing- in fact, undermines worthy activity, e.g. raising cattle, and real food, e.g. greens, not grains.
only 3:17 in this is worth sharing
Professor Bogin, the Mayans are increasing in number, while your own people are going extinct. Why should they listen to you?
Education and thoughtful choosing is the remedy. Darwin will always exploit the dumb.
