About this listen
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'

Nows the time to get up from that chair that’s doing your spine pelvis and feet so much harm and get out and walk bare foot.
I feel there is a slight theory practice gap here but it’s certainly made me think.
I will be changing certain things in my lifestyle after reading this book, and hope it’s not too late to make a difference. The evolution of man sitting in a chair rather than in a squat is fascinating and after reading other material on this subject I am rethinking my strategy for life.
My only gripe about the book is the author/ narrator who sounds very monotone, almost as though he is a bit bored with subject after writing it.
.
This is the time for the author to sit or stand on his scientific laurels and leave the narration to someone more capable of this job.
Highly recommend, as the content is so interesting.
