Hi,

While I think that it would depend on the specific living and eating
habits of the people in question, I would not initially consider any
date within approx. 10,000 years as safe to call Paleo. AFAIK evidence
of agriculture practice goes back at least 10,000 years so I would
guess agriculture practice goes back a bit further as evidence
degrades over time.

I also think that any, all, most human conditions have existed for all
of human history but that issues such as Arthritis were uncommon pre
agriculture. I myself have  Osteoarthritis in a minor joint - I 'drop
kicked' a stair by accident and injured the joint - some conditions
now associated with an agriculturally based diet can also be caused
simply by injuries.

Cheers

Neil
