I am here. It's Tai Lopez with Mr. Daniel Lieberman, Professor Lieberman. Thanks

joining us from Cambridge. Good old Harvard's, Harvard alumni. Did you go to Harvard?

I did indeed. So we're talking about one of my favorite books and a book that I think

more importantly than being my favorite. I think it's an important book. It's called The Story of

the Human Body, Evolution, Health and Disease. It's been listed for about the last year on my

top 150. Thanks for coming. Oh, it's I'm honored to be here. Thanks so much for asking.

To talk to me. Yeah, well, there's so much, I mean, I like to just dive in right to the good part

at the beginning, eat the dessert first. So the takeaway that I got, I always try to get one golden

nugget from a book and the goal, the nugget I guess that I got is that there's this map to our body

that's almost you could say predestined throughout evolution. It's in our DNA and most of the health

problems that we have come from not a lack of willpower, not a lack of, you know, it's not just one

thing. It's not just sugar or just one thing. It's not following that overall map, whether it's

how we move, how we sit, how we eat, how we choose. Does that sound like a fair synopsis?

It's probably not the most scientific, but in layman's terms. I mean, I think I would

amend that very slightly. I mean, I think the point is that our bodies weren't designed. They evolved

and they evolve for all kinds of different reasons and all kinds of different functions,

only one of which is to be healthy. And we have to understand, you know, an evolutionary

perspective helps us understand why our bodies are the way they are, but it also helps explain why

why sometimes things go wrong and why we get sick and why why we why we're doing such a poor job

of preventing ourselves from becoming sick. And that's really the, that was the focus of the book

written that I wanted to try to understand, no, how an evolutionary perspective helps us

do a better job of only understanding our bodies, but also staying healthy.
