The Claim That Nutrition Played
an Evolutionary Role is Fictitious
The claim is put forward in the Scientific American article that
"our ancestors'" progress in increasing the energy obtained from
food and raising its nutritional quality was one of the main features
in mankind's evolution and splitting away from the other primates.
Yet from the scientific point of view, this claim is totally without
foundation. Better-nourished living things may have stronger bod-
ies, and may be healthier and live longer. However, improved nu-
trition cannot cause them to turn into another species.
That is because there is no connection between nutrition and
man's genetic make-up. In order for a "speciation event" to happen,
the genetic structure needs to change to a considerable extent and to
be redesigned. Such a thing has never, ever been observed in nature,
and nutrition cannot affect genetic structure.
We can see this for ourselves: A cheetah community living in an
