Well, I'd been actively interested for 40 years in nutrition, physical activity, the environment, the
human place in nature etc. and I was always on the lookout for new ideas. So I was intellectually
prepared when I discovered this article:
http://www.cbass.com/EvolutionaryFitness.htm
The article grabbed me both intellectually and emotionally. I read a bit more - whole books on
human evolution, evolution in general, and about the way we have destroyed the Pleistocene world
in which we evolved, and then switched within a few weeks. And kept on reading and applying
what I read.
The same article will not affect everyone in the way it affected me. I was primed for it.
Keith
