Here's the abstract as published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition - http://www.nature.com/ejcn/journal/v62/n5/abs/1602790a.html  incl. contact details for Dr. Dr Per Wandell... 

There's no mention of the fat content on the trial diet [lean meat or otherwise]... as for potatoes... paleo-people did eat starchy tubers and roots as do present day hunter/gatherer groups.

On the whole, as you say, it's a step in the right direction,

  I commented on it too, they just approved it

  I guess thus study is a start, but it's still worrying to see that (a)  they ate mainly lean meat, (b) they ate potatoes and (c) Dr Per Wandell believes that a stone-age diet does not contain enough calcium.  (Did they not check the bone records?)  Well I won't complain too much, it's nice to see someone doing something positive.
