Delicioso

la evolución del sabor y cómo nos hizo humanos

Dunn, Rob
Sánchez Argilés, Mónica

We tend to represent the history of humanity as a story of hardship and scarcity focused on the desperate search for food. But what if the evolution of our species was not so marked by hunger as by the pursuit of pleasant flavors and enjoyment? Rob Dunn and Mónica Sánchez present in Delicious an idea that is as simple as it is revolutionary: that culinary pleasure has been one of the fundamental engines that have set in motion our evolution and the development of different civilizations and cultures throughout the centuries. Jumping from history to biology, from anthropology to personal experiences, from Cabrales cheese to Paleolithic art, from the invention of the first tools to beer fermentation, this book offers a fascinating and entertaining journey through the importance that flavor has had in shaping modern humanity and our relationship with the sense of taste and food.
