在《人体的故事》中，哈佛人类进化生物学教授丹尼尔·利伯曼向我们展示了如何改变我们的世界，以适应我们狩猎采集者的身体。这本开创性的科普书探讨了我们使用身体的方式是如何错误的。从进化的角度来看，如果正常被定义为大多数人已经做了数百万年，那么每天步行和跑步9 - 15公里来狩猎和收集新鲜食物是正常的，这些食物高纤维，低糖，几乎没有加工。花很多时间护理、打盹、制作石器、和一小群人闲聊也很正常。丹尼尔·利伯曼认为，我们21世纪的生活方式与我们石器时代的身体不同步。我们从来没有如此健康和长寿，但也从来没有如此容易受到一系列问题的困扰，这些问题直到最近才罕见或未知，从哮喘到糖尿病，再到最可怕的人口过剩。《人体的故事》探讨了我们的身体是如何变成现在这个样子的，并思考了进化史--无论是古代的还是近代的--如何帮助我们评估我们如何使用我们的身体。人体现在的状态与过去有什么关系？人体的未来是什么？“不朽的。人体的故事，由我们的顶尖专家之一，带领我们进行史诗般的航行。(Neil Shubin，《你内心的鱼》（Your Inner Fish）作者“有一点，有一点。”（Christopher McDougall，Born to Run作者）丹尼尔利伯曼是哈佛人类进化生物学系主任，也是该领域的领导者。他写了近100篇文章，其中许多发表在《自然》和《科学》杂志上，他在《自然》杂志上关于赤脚跑步的封面故事被世界各地的主要媒体报道。他的研究和发现被报纸和杂志重点报道，包括《纽约时报》、《波士顿地球仪》、《发现》和《国家地理》。
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. 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. It's also normal to spend much of your time nursing, napping, making stone tools, and gossiping with a small band of people. Our 21st-century lifestyles, argues Daniel Lieberman, are out of synch with our stone-age 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. 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. 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, 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. 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. His research and discoveries have been highlighted in newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Boston Globe, Discover, and National Geographic.
