And I'd refer you to "Paleolithic Diet vs. Vegetarianism: What was
humanity's original, natural diet?" by Ward Nicholson.  You'll find it at
http://www.beyondveg.com/nicholson-w/hb/hb-interview1a.shtml

It's in three sections:

1.  Setting the Scientific Record Straight on Humanity's Evolutionary
Prehistoric Diet and Ape Diets.
2.  Fire and Cooking in Human Evolution, Rates of Genetic Adaptation to
Change, Hunter-Gatherers, and Diseases in the Wild.
3.  The Psychology of Idealistic Diets and Lessons Learned from the Natural
Hygiene Many-to-Many about Successes and Failures of Vegetarian Diets.
