The Savanna Principle is a theory about the evolutionary roots of the human brain. Developed and researched by Satoshi Kanazawa it asserts that the environment that molded the human brain through natural selection is drastically different than the world humans currently live in. This disparity between what man was adapted to do and what he currently can do leads to a host of societal difficulties, according to the theory. For example, ancestors who craved sugary and fatty foods lived longer and were healthier than those who didn t, in a time that such things were relatively scarce. Today, the abundance of such temptations leads to obesity and heart disease .

According to the Principle, though our morality has moved forward, our brains remain stuck in the Savanna. In other words, the stability of our modernity has existed for a far shorter time than the years spent in the plains of Africa, and human nature often reflects that disparity. Criticism The Savanna Principle holds that the brain has undergone little if no change in the last 10,000 years citation . Some scholars challenge this view.
