Publisher's Summary
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE YOU, THINK AGAIN.
PRIMATE CHANGE is a wide-ranging, polemical look at how and why the human body has changed since humankind first got up on two feet. Spanning the entirety of human history - from primate to transhuman - Vybarr Cregan-Reid's book investigates where we came from, who we are today and how modern technology will change us beyond recognition.
In the last two hundred years, humans have made such a tremendous impact on the world that our geological epoch is about to be declared the 'Anthropocene', or the Age of Man. But while we have been busy changing the shape of the world we inhabit, the ways of living that we have been building have, as if under the cover of darkness, been transforming our bodies and altering the expression of our DNA, too.
PRIMATE CHANGE beautifully unscrambles the complex architecture of our modern human bodies, built over millions of years and only starting to give up on us now.
'Our bodies are in a shock. Modern living is as bracing to the human body as jumping through a hole in the ice. Our bodies do not know what century they were born into and they are defending and deforming themselves in response'

Most important thing I've ever read
Reading this book on a whim was the best thing I've ever done for my body and the next best thing I'll do for it will be move it. Primate Change is densely packed with important and interesting information, succinctly summarized and compelling enough to keep you engaged and turning the page/listening on. I'm extremely glad I purchased this, I now know so much more about human evolution and the man-made environmental impacts of modern life, and more importantly I feel extremely driven to look after my body and mind.
