The book presents an in-depth exploration of the relationship between food and human evolution. It begins by deciphering the dietary changes of early hominids and how these changes influenced their physical and cognitive development, from dentition to increased brain size. It then analyzes the cultural and socio-political influence on diet in ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Rome and China. It highlights food in pre-Columbian cultures, highlighting agricultural diversity, sustainable practices and the cosmic connection with the earth. It also addresses the Industrial Revolution and how it transformed food patterns, leading to health problems in modernity. It also discusses the "green revolution" and technologies to improve food production. And finally, it explains sustainability in food systems and innovations for the future, such as laboratory meat and insect-based nutrition. The book concludes by recognizing nutrition as a multidisciplinary science, which seeks to ensure health and quality of life. This work is the result of a collective effort of academics seeking to understand human nutrition from its origins to the present.
