The maggots, maybe, but not the sheep and the birds.
Besides, your genes will be less forgiving than me
for you omitting all these foods. ;-)

For this you should only be commended.

Sorry to bore you but if you want to go beyond deriving insights
and actually want to emulate a paleo diet as closely as reasonably
possible, you cannot leave out a whole category of foods just to fit
your own ideological needs.
