The Paleo Manifesto: Ancient Wisdom for Lifelong Health

John Durant explores how humans lived and ate before modern civilization and what that means for health today. Drawing on evolutionary biology, anthropology and history, he examines diet, exercise, sleep, sunlight and hygiene across human history, from hunter-gatherers to farmers and industrial societies. Durant argues for a lifestyle inspired by our ancestors and offers practical advice on food, movement and living with purpose.
