Wild Foods.

They were the sole source of food for hunter-gatherers in Paleolithic times up to about 10,000 years ago. They continue to be important for many agricultural communities […]

Our Paleolithic ancestors had access to 500 different plants. Their food was often stored in the ground with access to abundant bacteria. Today, 80% of human nutrients come from 17 plants, while 50% of our calories come from only 8 grains. Our food undergoes excessive processing and heating. Important chemicals in plants start to disappear […]

Genes and epigenetic mechanisms, by which we function today, were laid down between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago in Africa. Evolution has continued to this today. However, our basic lifestyles (diet, exercise) have changed drastically over time, and basic food patterns are considerably different today. With human world-wide migration, diets changed from the original patterns, […]

The study of the diets of our ancestors from 50,000 to 100,000 years ago is believed to be relevant for us today, because our genes were naturally selected at that time. There has been some evolution of humans over time, but our basic chemical and physiologic functioning is unchanged. Our early Paleolithic ancestors came from […]
