Phosphor/andrew asked:
going by your excerpt, this will be a seminal contribution. may i ask, what
other H-G groups are heavily reliant on nuts?

My reply:
For that you'd need to check out Richard Lee's work. The point is that there
isn't one single paleo diet; the diet would have varied with latitude. I am
challenging the idea that a paleo diet contains precious few carbohydrates.
The data may be skewed if you only or primarily look at groups of people
living in northern latitudes.

I previously posted:
>His study of 58 contemporary primitive groups found that their >diets by
weight average 65 to 75 percent plant foods, and 25 >to 35 percent meat."
and the relevance of this is?

My reply:
You claimed that a paleo diet by nature contains little or no carbs. (I
don't have your actual quote handy.)  I'm just highlighting an alternative
view.
