From Gromit to Astrand: ‘There is virtually no way of reverting to our “natural” way of
life, but with insight into our biological heritage we may be able to modify the current, selfdestructive, elements of our modern lifestyle’ (Astrand 1994: 103). Astrand’s fascinating analysis of evolutionary history in relation to current lifestyles highlights the central issue we are now living our lives, at least in developed countries, in ways that are largely unhealthy and different from what we have done for most of our past. As some have expressed it, we are living twenty-first century lifestyles with hunter–gatherer genes. Indeed, Astrand’s analysis of lifestyles of humans since we first appeared on Earth some four mil-lion years ago led him to conclude ‘during more than 99 per cent of our existence we were hunters and food gatherers. Now we are exposed to an enormous experiment – without con-trol groups’ (Astrand 1994: 101).
