Story of the Human Body 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 kilometers 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 Dan 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. 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? 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, The Boston Globe, Discover, and National Geographic.

Excerpt from History of the Human Body This book has a twofold purpose: first, to present the results of modern anatomical and embryological research relative to the human structure in a form accessible to the general student, and, secondly, to furnish students of technical human anatomy with a basis upon which to rest their knowledge of details. Regarding the first of these purposes, it may be said that, while many of the phases of the doctrine of evolution have been thoroughly exploited, and their general teaching has become the property of the general scholar, the contribution to thought furnished by anatomy has been considered of too technical a character for popular presentation. It is true that this science necessarily rests upon a material basis, and involves a mass of extremely intricate details, and it is also true that a more or less complete knowledge of these is absolutely necessary before the contribution of this science to evolutionary thought can be appreciated; but in these respects anatomy does not differ from other branches of natural science, the essential teachings of which are already a matter of general knowledge. If, then, the technical difficulties have been surmounted in the case of Geology, Astronomy and general Zoology, it is not too much to hope that in the course of the next few years the mission of Anatomy may also become generally known, especially since its results touch human interests more closely than do those of any of the kindred sciences. Concerning the second purpose, that of assisting in the technical study of human anatomy, it is hardly necessary to present an argument, since the great advantages of studying human anatomy in connection with both comparative anatomy and embryology are patent to all who have employed this method.
