What physiological adaptations did we develop to thrive on a meat-based diet? And how does this ancient blueprint align—or clash—with modern nutritional advice?From the savannas of Africa to today’s supermarket shelves, Cesar and Dr. Sarah uncover how our ancestors’ dietary choices shaped not only our biology but our behavior, intelligence, and dominance over other species. Whether you're a science enthusiast, a health-conscious eater, or curious about the origins of our dietary instincts, this episode will change the way you think about food, evolution, and what it really means to eat like a human.
