Abstract

Decades ago, Neel's Thrifty Genotype Hypothesis posited that human evolutionary history and environmental change interact to influence cardiometabolic health. We discuss the history, evidence, and modern day interpretation of this idea. We also provide possible study designs for empirical tests, focusing on working with subsistence-level groups undergoing lifestyle transitions.
