Every morning, I routinely take a few nutritional supplements and prescribed medications. I’ve often found myself wondering: What is the source of the knowledge that makes these items possible? After all, humans have been ingesting supplements and medications for thousands of years.
We may think that the supplements and medications that we take were developed in a high-tech laboratory, possibly even using artificial intelligence (since it seems to be involved in everything now). But in fact, our modern supplements and medications are the product of thousands of years of evolution—a gift to humankind, yes from those laboratories, but also from a past stretching all the way back to our ancestors from the ancient past.
