'Ancestral' diets like the paleo diet are hugely popular in Australia, but experts from UNSW Sydney and the Australian Museum have questions. What happens when you take a caveman out of the cave and plonk him in a fast-food restaurant? Some scientists say we are living out this experiment across modern society. We evolved to eat a hunter-gatherer diet during the Palaeolithic era, a period from about 2.6 million years ago to approximately 10,000 BC. Our bodies are not yet accustomed to farmed and highly processed foods, with serious health consequences like high blood pressure, clogged arteries and type 2 diabetes.
