The responses received so far indicate little or no knowledge of human evolution and have been
dashed off from within their limited frame of reference, sitting at the keyboard and writing the
first thing that comes into their heads.

CR - in its core principle - cuts right across palaeolithic eating.  The CR-ers go for caloric
restriction day after day after day.  Palaeolithic eating would go for randomly distributed snacking,
deprivation, gorging etc.  The fact that CR has a planned restriction and Palaeolithic eating has
occasional deprivation is not really enogh to say they have much in common.
