人类作为一个属已经存在了大约200万年，我们的前人类祖先南方古猿至少出现在400万年前（表1）。这一阶段的进化历史对我们目前的遗传组成做出了决定性的贡献，部分原因是当时饮食的影响。进化中的原始人所能获得的食物因古生物学时期、地理位置和季节条件的不同而有很大的差异，因此我们的祖先保持了作为大多数灵长类动物典型的杂食动物的多样性。自然选择为我们提供了营养适应性;然而，今天的人类面临着与饮食有关的健康问题。
HUMANITY has existed as a genus for about 2 million years, and our prehuman hominid ancestors, the australopithecines, appeared at least 4 million years ago (Table 1). This phase of evolutionary history made definitive contributions to our current genetic composition, partly in response to dietary influences at that time. The foods available to evolving hominids varied widely according to the paleontological period, geographical location, and seasonal conditions, so that our ancestral line maintained the versatility of the omnivore that typifies most primates. Natural selection has provided us with nutritional adaptability; however, human beings today are confronted with diet-related health problems . . .
