Answer: Yes. That diet which is possible when a human (or any biological
creature) is in its ancestral environment without technology; because
the genetic differences between an Ethiopian, an Englishman and an
Aborigine are neglible. (A similar example would be the fact that wolf
food is the best, most natural and healthy fare for chihuahuas.)

Diets such as the Zone or Dr. Ornish's may "work" for some people in the
near-term, but the long-term effects of fatty red-meat deprivation have
yet to be determined in such diets. What may work for six months may not
work two years from now. Nature--i.e., the undeniable requirements of
our DNA-- is the only certainty. Instead of superimposing intellectually
defined nutritional regimens on the body, it is best to simply get out
of nature's way.
