Genotype, obesity and cardiovascular disease--has technical and social advancement outstripped evolution?

Journal of internal medicine - 1 Aug 2003

Zimmet P, Thomas C R

Abstract excerpt

Teleologically, our ancestors were highly adapted hunter-gatherers. In recent history, the environment in which Homo sapiens exists has altered drastically and humans are exposed to environments for which the hunter-gatherer genotype is ill-suited. The adoption of a sedentary Western lifestyle, and the case of obtaining food of a high calorific content imposed upon a thrifty genotype, have resulted in the current...
