To kick off this podcast series “What did humans evolve to eat?” I invited Dr. Miki Ben-Dor, a Ph.D. in archaeology, affiliated with the department of Archaeology of Tel Aviv University. He researches the connection between human evolution and nutrition throughout human prehistory.

In this episode we discuss

- How did The Ice Age affect what we ate?

- Where did plants fit into our diet during our evolutionary history?

- Why does Dr. Ben-Dor believe humans evolved to be hyper-carnivores?

- How did the human anatomy change throughout our evolution?
