Ep 5. From fire to farm to factory: the evolution & industrialisation of human food environments

Last time we looked at how animals' environments provide for their nutritional health. In this episode Professors David Raubenheimer and Steve Simpson step us through key evolutionary developments in human nutrition, from the first use of fire to the start of industrialised food production, and what each big change has meant for our bodies, our societies and our health.

Hosted by novelist Charlotte Wood, the first writer-in-residence at the Charles Perkins Centre, University of Sydney.
