When the Climate Got Better, the Plants Disappeared Machine learning reveals that the ancestors of wheat and barley were less common after the Ice Age ended, not more.

Food Addiction- How it Started The evolution of food consumption has deeply affected human health and society.

Today, this history contributes to widespread food addiction and obesity crisis.
