Art De Vany’s Essay on Evolutionary Fitness

In anticipation of the publication of my book, The New Evolution Diet, I am opening access to my original, but lightly edited, Essay on Evolutionary Fitness. I have lost track of when I first made this available; I think it was around 1995. By then, I had been living this way for about 10 years, with a lot of testing and experimentation with diet and training and play. I think this helped to start a movement, but you be the judge. I am very happy about how this has all played out.
