About this listen

What if the greatest mystery of Nutrition…has gone unnoticed?

For generations we have accepted tidy explanations:

Eat this, avoid that, follow the rules.

But beneath the surface, something just doesn’t add up.

The human body thrives without our conscious control:

Meals disappear, nutrients are sorted, and energy appears out of nowhere—with no chef, no control tower, no captain.

Which really begs the question: how does it all work?

The Engineered Primate is a journey into the logistics of life. It is an exploration of the hidden mechanisms that shape us from the inside out. Each chapter peels back a layer:

  • Why does digestion even exist?
  • What was the environmental pressure in deep time that made a digestive system necessary?
  • How does order arise in a body with no conscious overseer?
  • …and why have we rarely asked these questions when creating our nutritional models?

This is not another diet manual.

It is a trail of clues inviting you to reconsider what you thought you knew about the very act of eating.
