THE BOOK
The Engineered Primate
Nutrition has long been framed as a predictable science: macro’s + micro’s = determined output.
But what if that model is incomplete?
The Engineered Primate stops to ask fundamental questions that have long been overlooked:
- How does a nutrient reach a cell in need – in a system without conscious control?
- How did we come to have a digestive system? And why?
- If we don’t establish what digestion evolved in response to, then how can we understand the inherent constraints?
This book takes you on a journey through time, showing that nature didn’t just adapt a general-purpose digestive system for ‘food’… instead the pressures of evolution engineered it, embedding within it the same dynamic, self-regulating principles that govern all life.
Through the lens of Probabilistic Nutrition and a framework of evolutionary logic, this book challenges conventional thinking to uncover how plant fibres became the architects of digestion, stabilising biological chaos through structured feedback.
This isn’t just a book about nutrition – it is a new way to understand life itself… from the inside out.
WHITE PAPER
The Missing First Principle of Digestion
For centuries, digestion has been studied, dissected, and analysed – yet its first principle has never been defined.
- What if digestion didn’t come for variety first?
- What if it isn’t just there for whatever we eat?
- What if its entire structure was shaped by one fundamental force – one so obvious that it has gone unnoticed?
This missing first principle changes everything.
Once you see it, you will never look at digestion – or human nutrition – the same way again.
FRAMEWORK
Evolutionary Logic
Biology is not random. Life does not evolve without logic.
Every system in nature is shaped by cause and effect, driven by pressures that demand engineered solutions. Evolution is more than just a process of survival – it is a structured system of refinement, adaptation, and response.
So why is digestion still treated as a passive system? As though it simply emerged ready-made to accommodate endless dietary variety – seemingly separate from the rest of evolution?
The Framework:
Evolutionary Engineering (EE) & Evolutionary Intelligence (EI) form the missing framework – the logic of life itself.
They reveal:
- Why digestion had to be a naturally engineered solution to a specific need.
- Why human biology does not operate through fixed precision, but through refined probability, feedback, and adaptation.
- Why the body is not simply a passive responder to food, but a self-regulating system shaped by evolutionary constraints.
When systems thinking is applied to human biology, nature’s logic unfolds with breathtaking elegance – not as a collection of random processes, but as an interconnected, self-optimising framework that balances survival with thriving.
THE NEW MODEL
Probabilistic Nutrition
What if digestion doesn’t work the way you’ve been told?
What if nutrients don’t follow fixed pathways, but instead operate on probability, feedback, and adaptation?
What if the human body isn’t a machine processing food with exactness… but a self-regulating system that balances chaos and order?
Probabilistic Nutrition reveals the truth behind nutrient absorption, metabolism, and energy distribution—a truth that challenges everything we assume about food, diet, and health.
If the pathways of Nutrition aren’t determined… how does it work?
