Ancient Appetites, Modern Success
The drive to feed ourselves is innate.
The desire to share a meal with others is deeply rooted in our past.
The disappointment when we reach for that second slice of cake — that’s new.
In this episode, we look at how human evolution shaped our brains, our guts, and our appetite, and why the instincts that once kept us alive feel confusing in the modern world.
From cooking and plant foods to honey and energy needs, this is a story about why there was never one ancestral diet — and why your appetite isn’t a personal flaw, but an ancient survival strategy.
