In this third and final part, we're taking a close look at just the last 100 years of human history. As we're about to see, human civilization, natural landscapes, and our relationship to our food has changed more during this period than at anytime before.

As we'll see, this transition from wild to domesticated foods had far-reaching implications for human diets and the development of human civilization as we know it.

In this three-part blog series, we’ll rewind the clock 7 million years and explore the complex role eating meat has played in shaping our bodies and cultures over the course of human history.

This rapid shift and how little it is discussed today should deeply concern us, because how meat is produced substantially affects nutritional value, animal welfare, environmental impact, and working conditions within our food system.
