Dr. Price's work is pretty straightforward, examining bone development and tooth decay and degenerative health conditions in the context of diet.
He found that if people ate their traditional diets, whatever they were and wherever your family came from, your body did what it was supposed to do.
Consider this in the context of the simplest and most obvious combination of nutrient pair with human development- Vitamin D from solar radiation and your skin tone. If your ancestors spent a lot of time in the sun, they needed to modulate their absorption of Vitamin D, and their skin produced more melanin to slow its absorption. So if you have dark skin tone, you need a lot more sunlight today than if you have light skin tone- and are far more likely to be deficient if you have the same indoor lifestyle that your fair-skinned compatriots may require. This works the same with any nutrient- the rate at which you process nutrients will be different based on the environment and nutrients your ancestors lived on- if you live near the ocean and ate seafood, you need more phosphorus. If you live in a landlocked area, you need less dietary salt and less iodine than someone who got a lot of it. This will slowly adapt to your current situation and your genes do change during your lifetime to both help you better function in a new environment and help your children, but it does not happen instantaneously. The "generational sin" of three to four generations mentioned in the 10 Commandments in Leviticus 20, "I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me".
This might just be a component of the rules of our reality- if you make poor choices, it literally poisons your genetics and it takes a few generations to get back to neutral- abuse, addiction, and maybe even seemingly innocuous things like abandoning your homeland can all have real consequences for yourself and your children. This could be why children of addicts have such a hard time making good choices- it's not just the nurture that they are struggling against.
Maybe. It's just a hypothesis. But it aligns with my observation.
There is not one human diet. There is one result- the human body- but the way we get there through the myriad of metabolic processes is different.
