From hunting and gathering to GMOs 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.
