Since the year 2000, PubMed lists over over 20,000 studies published on Paleo and low carb eating as compared to the current "standard American diet" as summarized by the USDA food pyramid. The scientific evidence is becoming overwhelming. . .

Sorry, I was posting from my phone so I did not explain. Nobody was around 10000 years ago so there is no data from that far back - it is all theory without evidence (and I think you can deduce that I do not believe the earth is millions of years old).

Oddly enough I started eating Paleo about 7 weeks ago. I forgot about this thread and started reading through it again, I actually started it since I was having some gall bladder issues (not that Paleo would correct it) and decided to try and do something to counteract all the health issues that run in my family. It was a bit hard to get used to the first week but after getting used to the recipes I think I can stay on this long term (when it comes to diets I have never stayed on one longer than about 6 months, every one I have tried are not realistic long term). I was already trying to lose weight before I started eating Paleo but I am down 35 pounds right now and the only exercise I get is lifting weights 2-3 times a week. I try to ride my bike a few times a week but time does not always allow that. At the 4 month mark I will get a physical and see what this has done with my blood work.

When talking to someone about why I'm following a paleo template for diet and exercise, the push back I've gotten from people, including a doctor, is that our paleo ancesters only lived to about 30 years old. Never mind those iceage people were more muscular and had more bone density, no sign of cavities, generally better health then the grain-based diet of neolithic people that followed them and who only averaged 20 years of age.

Here's a table of average life expectancy from the paleolithic to today.

When Neolithic man became a grain eater instead of a hunter-gatherer roughly 10,000 years ago, average life expectancy dropped dramatically and humans immediately lost 8 inches in height. What killed people back then were acute infections and accidents. However, if they survived childhood, they could live every bit as long as today's humans. However, they remained fit and active, not crippled by the chronic diseases of civilization.
