A savory account of how the pursuit of delicious foods shaped human
evolution Nature, it has been said, invites us to eat by appetite
and rewards by flavor. But what exactly are flavors? Why are some
so pleasing while others are not? Delicious is a supremely
entertaining foray into the heart of such questions. With generous
helpings of warmth and wit, Rob Dunn and Monica Sanchez offer bold
new perspectives on why food is enjoyable and how the pursuit of
delicious flavors has guided the course of human history. They
consider the role that flavor may have played in the invention of
the first tools, the extinction of giant mammals, the evolution of
the world's most delicious and fatty fruits, the creation of beer,
and our own sociality. Along the way, you will learn about the
taste receptors you didn't even know you had, the best way to
ferment a mastodon, the relationship between Paleolithic art and
cheese, and much more. Blending irresistible storytelling with the
latest science, Delicious is a deep history of flavor that will
transform the way you think about human evolution and the gustatory
pleasures of the foods we eat.
