Evolution of the Human Diet and Its Impact on Gut …
The relatively rapid shift from consuming preagricultural wild foods for thousands of years, to consuming postindustrial semi-processed and ultra-processed foods endemic of the Western world less than 200 years ago did not allow for evolutionary adaptation of the commensal microbial species that inhabit the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and this has significantly …

Animal Source Foods and Human Health during Evolution
The use of animal source foods in human diets has a long history, going back at least 5 mya. The pattern of meat consumption in human evolution can be divided into four time periods: 1) opportunistic hunting and perhaps scavenging; 2) full-scale hunting beginning perhaps as much as 2 mya; 3) the shift from hunting and gathering to domesticated food sources, both animal …

The idea that food processing has had a role in human evolution has only recently begun to be debated by anthropologists and archaeologists (e.g. Jones 2009; Milton 2003; Wrangham et al. 1999; Carmody and Wrangham 2009).More often than not, however, food processing is regarded as an end product of previous evolutionary changes such as increased …

Genetic Evidence of Human Adaptation to a Cooked Diet
To test whether genes affected by food type and food preparation might have been targets of selection during human evolution (fig. 4a), we investigated whether genes that were differentially expressed by diet in mice were enriched among genes with evidence of positive selection in the human lineage (Kosiol et al. 2008).

In addition, popular diets are justified on the basis of genetic adaptations that have occurred during the past million years.
