About 10,000 years ago, human populations around the world figured out that they could grow crops and raise animals. Instead of always being on the move, chasing game and gathering plants, they could stay in one place and settle down. And you might think that this more stable sort of existence would lead to better health. But you'd be wrong. According to many studies, the rise of agriculture coincided with declines in human height and overall health. Why? Theories abound. One of the most persuasive is the notion that an agricultural lifestyle is generally less healthful than a hunting and gathering one. Hunter gatherers, for example, ate a wide variety of food basically anything they could find–while in early agricultural societies, people came to rely on only a few types of food, leading to nutritional deficiencies.
大約在一萬年以前，地球上的人類被認(rèn)為可以種植農(nóng)作物和飼養(yǎng)動(dòng)物。他們因此可以在一個(gè)地方定居下來用于取代以前經(jīng)常遷徙，打獵和收集植物的生活。 也許你會(huì)認(rèn)為這種比較固定的生活方式可以帶來健康。但是，你是錯(cuò)誤的。 許多研究表明，農(nóng)業(yè)的發(fā)展伴隨著人類身高及整體健康的下降。 為什么會(huì)這樣呢？ 關(guān)于這有很多的理論。其中最有說服力的觀點(diǎn)是農(nóng)業(yè)生活相對(duì)于打獵和聚集的生活方式是不健康的。比如，獵人會(huì)食用他們所能找到的各種基本食物--而在早期的農(nóng)業(yè)社會(huì)，人們便開始依賴部分種類的食物，這導(dǎo)致了營(yíng)養(yǎng)的缺乏。
