I think she said there was two types of Paleo. One that ate mostly meat,
and one that ate mostly veg, fruit, nuts & berries. This would also support
lower intelligence in more southern peoples. IF one group ate more meat, and
thus increased brain capacity, would that make Europeans smarter than
Africans? Would the time line make that much of a difference? Humans are
adaptable, but not that much on a genetic level. A paleo diet can vary
greatly, as long as it stays paleo. I don't see that variances in paleo diet
had much impact on differences in genetics, just before Neolithic times.

I think this is not true. Neolithic diets have not affected our genome for 2
