  • Survival advantage to conserve energy as fat through human evolution
  • Humans enriched for genes that promote energy intake and storage and minimize expenditure.
  • Enhance female fertility and ability to breastfeed offspring
  • In modern industrial environment
    • easy access to calorically dense foods
    • encourages sedentary lifestyle
  • Metabolic consequences of these genes are maladaptive
