Evolution.  World Scientific Publishing Company.  2005.  $32.00.

From the publisher's description:  "....In the case of human brain
evolution, the main environmental influence was adaptation to a 'shore-
based' diet, which provided the world's richest source of nutrition, as
well as a sedentary lifestyle that promoted fat deposition.  Such a diet
included shellfish, fish, marsh plants, frogs, bird's eggs, etc...."
