    survival mechanism from recent hunter gatherer lifestyles but not all ancient Mesoamericans had the same lifestyle.

    You always hear that Mexican food is starchy but I have ate tortillas and tamales etc from chihuahua to Chiapas and I must say that compared to other countries, they seemed to be the healthiest and best tasting I have had. I do think that many people with Indian blood are more prone to suffer from the effects of fattening foods because their bodies are adapted to living on the edge

    With athletes that have baby fat, I say its more to do with ancient adaptations to living off the fat of the land

    Typical hunter gatherer woman in South Africa but also depends a bit on the tribe and their culture
