Daniel Lieberman brings scholarly authority and readable prose to big questions about human health. In The Story of the Human Body, Lieberman reframes everyday ailments through an evolutionary lens: many modern problems arise because our contemporary lifestyles differ dramatically from the behaviors shaped over millions of years. From hunting-and-gathering activity levels to traditional diets high in fiber and low in processed sugar, this bestselling author explains why mismatches between our Stone Age bodies and modern life contribute to conditions like asthma and diabetes.

Exercised: The Science of Physical Activity, Rest and Health tackles the myths and realities of movement. Lieberman argues that humans didn’t evolve to “exercise” in the modern sense; rather, we evolved to integrate moderate, regular exertion into daily life. This book cuts through fads and anxiety around fitness, showing how practical activity, rest, and context—rather than extreme training programs—support long-term health.

What makes this book collection different

  • Written by an award-winning academic: Daniel Lieberman is Edwin M. Lerner II Professor of Biological Sciences and a respected Harvard researcher in human evolutionary biology.
  • Evidence-based and approachable: combines fieldwork (Kenya, Mexico) with lab research to explain complex concepts simply.
  • Perfect for both casual readers and educators: useful for classroom discussion, book clubs, or as a well-researched gift for health-conscious friends.

Benefits at a glance

  • Clear explanations: makes evolutionary medicine accessible without sacrificing scientific rigor.
  • Practical takeaways: learn simple lifestyle shifts that support long-term wellbeing.
  • Trusted expertise: Lieberman’s background in biomechanics, anatomy, and physiology lends authority to the conclusions.
  • Great value: two complementary paperback editions in one set for deeper perspective on body, movement, and health.

Whether you’re buying for a teacher, a parent, a fitness professional, or yourself, this paperback collection provides reliable context and actionable insight. The Daniel Lieberman Collection makes a thoughtful gift and a timeless resource—great for bedtime reading, classroom use, or as a reference for anyone wanting to understand how evolutionary history shapes modern health.
