The Venus statues (e.g. Venus of Willendorf,
http://witcombe.sbc.edu/willendorf/willendorfgoddess.html) are from the
Paleolithic period, and show anatomically correct obese females. They are
thought to be fertility symbols.  There had to have been fat females in
Paleolithic times for these statues to have been created.
