Of course not, but there are other aspects.
E.g. how far agriculture should be involved in producing food (much
discussed these days in Europe after agriculture spread the deadly cow
disease)
In India today still exists the biggest h/g population of the world, btw.
"wood dwellers" count of several millions.

I don't want to repeat the dairy discussion you find in the archives.
Paleo people didn't keep animals, but a calv of a mammal and the carcass of
a lactating mammal contains a considerable amount of "dairy".
And of course all paleo people drunk milk in the first years
- the most natural and only certain natural way of eating.
