«El mono obeso» is the popular science essay by José Enrique Campillo Álvarez, published by Editorial Crítica in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Campillo Álvarez analyzes the rise of obesity, diabetes and hypertension as diseases of opulence: the human body evolved for an ancestral environment that has nothing to do with today's lifestyle. This mismatch between our biology and modern habits explains why these ailments affect adults and also children.
Campillo Álvarez is a physician, professor of Physiology and doctor of Medicine at the University of Granada, with the National Research Award of the Spanish Diabetes Society in 1989.
Recommended for readers interested in nutrition, public health and popular science on human evolution.
