Publisher's Synopsis
What if the greatest mystery of Nutrition... has gone unnoticed?
For generations we have accepted tidy explanations:
Eat this, avoid that, follow the rules.
But beneath the surface, something just doesn't add up.
The human body thrives without our conscious control:
Meals disappear, nutrients are sorted, and energy appears out of nowhere - with no chef, no control tower, no captain.
Which really begs the question: how does it all work?
The Engineered Primate is a journey into the logistics of life. It is an exploration of the hidden mechanisms that shape us from the inside out. Each chapter peels back a layer:
Why does digestion even exist?
What was the environmental pressure in deep time that made a digestive system necessary?
How does order arise in a body with no conscious overseer?
...and why have we rarely asked these questions when creating our nutritional models?
This is not another diet manual.
It is a trail of clues inviting you to reconsider what you thought you knew about the very act of eating.
