					<description><![CDATA[It is sad that most sushi lovers will never have real wasabi. I had assumed that I had sampled real wasabi when I spent several days eating sushi morning noon and night in Actual Japan. But even then, there is a good chance I never tasted the stuff. The reason that most &#8220;wasabi&#8221; is fake, &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2016/07/14/wasabi-wannabe-and-the-chemistry-of-the-hot-green-sushi-substance/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Wasabi wannabe and the chemistry of the hot green sushi substance</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I had mentioned earlier that the volcanoes of the Virugna region in the Western Rift Valley (as well as other highland spots) have often been islands of rain forest separated from each other by different habitats, including grasslands and wooded savannas. this has produced an island effect that has been a laboratory for evolution, and &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2010/01/04/nyamulagira-volcano-and-human/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Nyamulagira Volcano and Human Evolution</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Or not. Much is made of the early use of stone tools by human ancestors. Darwin saw the freeing of the hands ad co-evolving with the use of the hands to make and use tools which co-evolved with the big brain. And that would make the initial appearance of stone tools in the archaeological record &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2009/02/12/great-moments-in-human-evoluti/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Great Moments in Human Evolution: The Invention of Chipped Stone Tools</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Fallback foods are the foods that an organism eats when it can&#8217;t find the good stuff. It has been suggested that adaptive changes in fallback food strategies can leave a more distinct mark on the morphology of an organism, including in the fossil record, than changes in preferred food strategies. This assertion is based on &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2008/02/19/the-potato-and-human-evolution/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">The Potato and Human Evolution</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Many years ago a couple of researchers (Hatley and Kappleman) suggested omnivory, including eating of roots, to be a common theme in the adaptations we see in bears, humans, and pigs. Some years later, Richard Wrangham and I independently and for different reasons came to the idea that roots are potentially important in human evolution, &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2007/11/12/roots-coming-home-to-roost/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Roots Coming Home to Roost</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Chimp, Australopith and Human Teeth Compared. The evolution of human diet followed a major zig (as in zig-zag) in a wholly unexpected direction, followed by the most significant biological innovation to ever occur among multi celled animals: The invention of cooking.
