I've made before, if paleolithic people hadn't eat grains at
least sometimes, they never would have cultivated them.

That's an interesting observation.  I wonder what made grains so attractive
for cultivation as compared to other crops that they ate more often.  I can't
imagine.

I have a couple more questions for you--I'm interested in your opinion.

Do you think that if a paleo hunter killed a lactating female animal that he
drank her milk--or gave it to his children?  I've heard people say that this
is probably so, but I can't figure out how this could be if paleolithic
people didn't produce lactose.

Do you consider vinegar (or alcohol) to be paleo?  There has been some
discussion here of natural fruit fermentation.  I use organic balsamic
vinegar and raw organic cider vinegar in cooking and on salads, and I do not
feel inclined to give them up.  Vinegar adds greatly to the taste of foods.
