Nicklas Neuman interviewed for BBC Futures

In a newly published article for BBC Futures, "Why humans feel the need to feast together", science journalist Veronique Greenwood has written about the role of the shared meal throughout human history.

One of the researchers interviewed is Nicklas Neuman, Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer at the Department of Food, Nutrition Dietetics. The interview is based on his paper ”Commensal Attraction: Eating Together as a Social Tool”, published in Journal for the Theory of Human Behaviour, in which the human tendency to eat together across cultures and historical periods is linked to our evolutionarily developed social biology.
