- Primate Change (120,000 words) is a comprehensive history of how the modern body has changed and been reshaped by revolutions in living from about 100,000 years ago until today. It covers the agricultural, metropolitan, industrial and technological revolutions, right up to the present. The book is the culmination of six years’ research, synthesising information from disciplines as diverse as anthropology, anatomy, zoology, biomechanics, ophthalmology, immunology, history, mathematics, archaeology, and dentistry. Marshalling evidence from working with or interviewing experts across five continents, it resulted in what The Guardian called ‘a work of remarkable scope.’
