Human diets have changed dramatically over time, shaped by environment, culture, and biology. Research in this area looks at how early humans adapted to available food sources, how diets supported survival and development, and how these evolutionary shifts influence modern health.
The Real Food Research Hub gathers high-quality, peer-reviewed studies and other credible sources on the history of human nutrition, offering evidence on the long arc of dietary change and its impact on human biology and society.
Keywords: human diet, evolution, anthropology, nutrition history.

The development of human diets is closely tied to physical and cultural changes over millennia. Studies in this area explore how shifts in food availability and preparation influenced human anatomy, social structures, and patterns of survival.
Within the Real Food Research Hub, this category compiles peer-reviewed research and credible analyses that place dietary change in its wider anthropological and biological context.
Keywords: anthropology, evolution, human diet, cultural change, survival.
Human diets did not change all at once but through a continuous process of adaptation. Research explores the gradual shifts in food choices, cooking methods, and agricultural practices, and how these influenced health, physiology, and social development over time.
In this category, the Real Food Research Hub curates peer-reviewed studies and other credible sources that trace the ongoing nature of dietary change in human history.
Keywords: dietary evolution, nutrition, agriculture, cultural change, human health.
