Primate Change: How the World We Made Is Remaking Us by Vybarr Cregan-Reid

This is one of the best books I have read… ever. The book explores the many different ways in which homosapiens have unknowingly changed our bodies and health by changing the environment around us.
The topics explored were fascinating and it really highlighted how many of the diseases and morbidities that plague and burden us, are man made. Our ancestors were less likely to experience back pain. It was highly unlikely they had diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases. They were unlikely to need glasses.
Overall from this book, it is clear that we all need to walk more in our everyday life and be a lot less sedentary.
