I dont think any salt can be found in nature in a way so that our
ancestors could rely on it. The only salt that can be "paleo" is
what comes with meat and other food.
Kenneth Good, an anthropologist who lived for several years with
Yanomamas and got married there, tells in his book "Into the heart"
about when he brought his wife and her brother to Caracas for the
first time. Hes wife refused to eat any salted food, but her
brother did not bother.
(Yanomamas live in the highlands of Venezuela, close to the Brazilian
border. They are hunters and gardeners but now and then spend months
nomading in the jungle. They do not use salt.)
