Modern Life is Rubbish.

Whether it’s cafes selling you the paleo diet, free love hippies lamenting the loss of our polyamorous past or your pushy gym instructor screaming at you to get out of that office chair there is no shortage of people harking back to simpler times when human beings lived in harmony with nature.

But when was this time and are we really evolutionarily ill fitted to the modern world?

As always we have the latest science stories with Newsround and Jonathan responds to all your texts and tweets.
