“Let food be
thy medicine and medicine be thy food” - Hippocrates
Left in the Dark
If you
think that we are at the peak of our human development Tony Wright and
Graham Gynn will make you reconsider. The ideas proposed in the book
"Left in the dark" have profound implications for our understanding of
human evolution, and the evolution of the brain in particular. This is a
MUST read for anybody interested in nutrition today, and the
relationship between nutrition, genetics and evolution. It is a MUST
read for anybody trying to make sense of how people behave today and the
problems we have all created and face.

Belief "Why our undoubted glimmers of genius
go hand in hand with overwhelming insanity’

without addressing the underlying cause). "
Left in
the Dark 'The Biological Origins of the Fall From Grace'
"A new theory of human evolution, proposed by Tony Wright and Graham
Gynn in ‘Left in the Dark’, convincingly argues that the human brain
owes part of its extraordinary development to the biochemistry of a
specialist fruit diet. The hormone-related chemicals in tropical fruit
initiated an internal hormone mechanism that increasingly promoted brain
growth and elevated neural activity. When humans were forced from their
tropical forest ‘Garden of Eden’ some two hundred thousand years ago,
this link with biochemically rich fruit was lost."
