The document summarizes the evolution of human diet over time: - For most of human history from 30,000-50,000 years ago, diets consisted primarily of plant foods. - Around 5,000 years ago, the agricultural revolution brought profound changes through domestication of plants and animals. - The industrial revolution 200 years ago and subsequent technological innovations over the past 4 decades further radically changed diets. - Compared to human and biological evolutionary timescales, adaptations to dietary changes and increases in population through these periods have been dramatic.
