In the case of dieting, modern humans do have an advantage compared to primitive human species, since the current human anatomy has more of an efficient digestive system as opposed to primitive humans. The modern human digestive system has an advantage over the primitive human species because as time passed food became more elaborate and easily digestible, therefore, processing food was quicker as opposed to meals primitive human species ate plants and raw food. However, when it comes down to changes in climate, the primitive human anatomy has an upper advantage in comparison to the modern human anatomy. According to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (2016), the primitive human anatomy adapted to climates that were both warm and cold. Some of the changes of the human anatomy consisted of a slender build and long legs in order to adapt to warm climates and a broad build and shorter legs in order to adapt to colder climate changes. Additionally, the Smithsonian states that “Their [Neanderthals] bones were thicker and stronger than ours. Starting about 50,000 years ago, as a result of less physically demanding lifestyles, humans evolved bones that were sleeker and weaker” (Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, 2016). Furthermore, early human species did not have warm apparel in comparison to modern humans, so it is evident that in order to survive harsh climates, primitive human species had to adapt their physical appearances to certain climates in order to survive cruel winters or harsh summers. Overall, primitive humans do have several physical advantages over modern humans, therefore, had the modern human anatomy been adapted in primitive time periods, it would have been quite difficult to survive, however, many physical changes inevitably would have occurred for the human species to
