Kevin Holbrook is a science writer interested in evolution and human well-being.Originally an advertising man, he has written about evolution for over six years after a mysterious illness — essentially cured thanks to paleolithic dieting — sent him on a journey of discovery about evolutionary applications to contemporary life.

Projects on the horizon:
