Abstract
Looking at our evolutionary past has the potential to inform and improve various facets of human life including areas in health, physical fitness, and nutrition from an evolutionary perspective. We argue that doing so would logically aid the fields of anthropology, biology, kinesiology, holistic sciences, nutrition, psychology, and exercise science, just to name a few. Specifically, we focus on the implications of shifting our paradigm from quantity of food and exercise to quality of such things. Implementing an evolutionarily informed approach, thus reducing the mismatch between our biology and technology, can do this.
