David Sloan Wilson, PhD — EvoS Diet: Framework for Testing Hypotheses: Diet & Social Organization

David Sloan Wilson, Ph.D., presenting at the Ancestral Health Symposium 2012 (AHS12)

The EvoS Diet: Creating a Framework for Testing Hypotheses About Optimal Diet and Social Organization for a Healthy Lifestyle

Abstract:
Modern health problems are often a result of a mismatch between adaptations to past environments and current environments. The concept of evolutionary mismatch is inherently complex, involving many variables and requiring information about the past that is difficult to obtain. Without an appropriate balance between theory and empirical research, mismatch hypotheses remain speculative "just-so stories". We will outline an appropriately balanced research agenda that includes a protocol for empirical research, which can be used by multiple investigators in real-world settings without external funding.
