Title: The hunter-gatherer within
Description: "We want to examine what the scientific evidence suggests is really going on when we eat food, and how we can eat and live in a way that best gives us the health benefits of a hunter-gatherer lifestyle while living in and enjoying the advantages of the modern world. We also hope to use the evidence to explore how we can increase our chances of avoiding chronic diseases, obesity, and other health problems -- the "Diseases of Civilization."--Page 7.

"The recommendations we list below could be given a variety of different names....Probably the most common of the names for similar recommendations are paleo or primal....Rather, what is important is that we are trying to emulate the type of eating that humans evolved with over millions of years -- the type of diet/lifestyle that matches our genetics, that is evolutionarily appropriate, that allows our bodies' hormonal and other systems to function optimally -- the diet and lifestyle that will maximize our health, our longevity, and how we feel."--Page 155.
