Few things define human beings better than the way they feed themselves. In fact, what was once a primary need (to eat was to live) has become an activity that has transformed a large part of the planet’s landscapes, has selected and promoted animal and plant species, has created an immense diversity and cultural, technological and economic wealth around it..
What’s more, eating gives us pleasure just by imagining it… and it can also contribute to or damage our health, depending on our choice. Eating brings us together around a table. It nourishes our bodies and, at the same time, our society.
From the Neanderthal to the supermarket is a series of conferences whose aim is to show what we ate from prehistoric times to what we eat today. A tasty journey that runs parallel to our history and civilisation.

Abstract: Few things define human beings better than the way they feed themselves. In fact, what was once a primary need (to eat was to live) has become an activity that has transformed a large part of the planet's landscapes, has selected and promoted animal and plant species, has created an immense diversity and cultural, technological and economic wealth around it.. What's more, eating gives us pleasure just by imagining it... and it can also contribute to or damage our health, depending on our choice. Eating brings us together around a table. It nourishes our bodies and, at the same time, our society. From the Neanderthal to the supermarket is a series of conferences whose aim is to show what we ate from prehistoric times to what we eat today. A tasty journey that runs parallel to our history and civilisation.
