Considering that there is more and more evidence appearing which favours the
Multiregional Hypothesis and debunks parts of the Out of Africa
hypothesis(re scientific evidence of  modern humans being descended
partially from Neanderthals and/or other hominids etc. etc.), any diet
focusing on foods in  Africa would presumably only benefit black Africans,
if at all.  I had a quick glance and saw references to various beans in the
article, very Neolithic.

There may well be some epigenetic/genetic reasons for assuming that we are
all designed to eat different types of foods. In my own case, my body
doesn't tolerate well most tropical fruits, and yet I cannot handle a
zero-carb diet no matter how long I do it or how much fat etc. I use.

I agree Geoff. Everything I have read seems to indicate Much of our
evolution and gene expression happened after the first hominids left Africa.
I handle starch just fine however, fructose is a problem. Zero carb diets
don't work for me. I am sure that everyone has different dietary "needs."
From a pure evolutionary standpoint we would need variation to be able to
survive food source changes.
There are variations in genes that make people prone to alcohol addiction. I
am sure that there are variations that create fructose addiction or just
problems.

Go to a Jewish wedding and you will many times see an open bar and a HUGE
sweet/dessert table.  The bar is ignored and the sweet table is raided.
