Episode 20C - Why gaining fat makes sense and gaining muscle does not (evolutionarily). Dr Eldakar
Evolution explains why it is hard to gain muscle but super easy to gain fat mass
What had a greater chance of killing you, too little or too many calories? (Within the context of human evolution).
Obesity is an evolutionary mis-match in this contemporary environment
Why do we crave meat instead of carrots? Animals are quite disagreeable with being consumed. Hence, we humans have crazy cravings for calorically dense foods.
Dr. Omar Tonsi Eldakar is an evolutionary biologist and associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at NSU Florida. Dr. Eldakar earned his PhD from Binghamton University and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Insect Science at the University of Arizona. He maintains diverse research interests in adaptive behavior and physiology ranging from sexual conflict in insects, cooperation and conflict in bacteria, contagious and spontaneous yawning, to human evolution and athletic performance.
