I should also add that people often mistake “Paleo” for super-low carb. That’s not so. Carbohydrates have been key to human evolution. There’s no way we could have developed such big brains had it not been for our access to carbohydrates in addition to high-quality protein. How and why we developed such large brains has been one of the most perplexing subjects in the study of human evolution, but we’re finally beginning to understand the answers thanks to new archaeological, anthropological, physiological, anatomical, and genetic data.
