CARTA: The Evolution of Human Nutrition


UCtelevision

Published on Jan 24, 2013

(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/) Tracing the evolution of the human diet from our earliest ancestors can lead to a better understanding of human adaptation in the past. It may also offer clues to the origin of many health problems we currently face, such as obesity and chronic disease. This fascinating series of talks focuses on the changing diets of our ancestors and what role these dietary transitions played in the evolution of humans. Here Steven Leigh (Univ of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) discusses Diets and Microbes in Primates, followed by Peter Ungar (Univ of Arkansas) on Australopith Diets, and Alison S. Brooks (George Washington Univ) and Margaret J. Schoeninger (UC San Diego) on Neanderthal Diets. Series: “CARTA – Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny”

A film about political ethics and legislative incompetence that follows one man’s attempts to require politicians to actually read the Bills they are passing — which, strangely, is not currently required anywhere in the U.S. In this modern day David vs. Goliath, filmmaker Jed Rigney follows Jerrol LeBaron as he sets out on a journey to make our politicians do the jobs they were hired to do. Faced with out-of-touch politicians and a broken political process, can one man really make a difference?
