# 468 - What did our ancient ancestors eat and were they healthy ? - Prof Peter Ungar Anthropological scientist

Prof Ungar's book : https://amzn.to/3VkDTH2 https://ungarlab.uark.edu/ Today I speak with Prof Peter Ungar who is an anthropological scientist. I ask him do we know what our ancestors ate. Expect to learn what Prof Ungar makes of the claims of those who promote the carnivore and paleo diets and their link to our ancestors. Find out how we know from the teeth and jaws the kinds of foods our ancestors ate. Plus we hear how modern diets are actually changing the shape of our mouths and by extension our faces. Prof Ungar is known internationally for his work reconstructing past diet and environment based on the examination of fossil teeth. Prof Ungar has authored or coauthored 230 scientific works on ecology and evolution for journals, books and other media. His research has been published in Science, Nature, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Scientific American, and Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.
