Description: From hunting and gathering to GM Os and ultra - processed foods this expansive tour of human history rewrites the story of our species and points the way to a better future. The history of Homo sapiens is usually told as a story of technology or economics. But there is a more fundamental driver: food. How we hunted and gathered explains our emergence as a new species and our earliest technology; our first food systems from fire to agriculture tell where we settled and how civilizations expanded. The quest for food for growing populations drove exploration colonialism slavery even capitalism. A century ago food was industrialized. Since then advancing styles of agriculture and food production have written a new chapter of human history one that's driving both climate change and global health crises. Best - selling food authority Mark Bittman offers a panoramic view of the story and explains how we can rescue ourselves from the modern wrong turn.
