Kita nyoba ing kabeh biaya kanggo ngerti komposisi diet iki mestine kanggo sampurna cocog karo kabutuhan genetis kita. Nanging apa standarisasi global diet modern bakal nutupi pasuryan kita? Apa pancene mung ana siji rezim nalika iku? Paling kamungkinan ora. Kanggo arkeolog, Jean-Denis Vigne, malah ora ana keraguan. ” Paleolitikum nyebar ing wektu sing dawa banget luwih saka 2 yuta taun. Nanging, ing wektu iki, iklim beda banget: sing mikir babagan periode glasiasi utawa pemanasan! Iki nuduhake manawa sumber pangan sing kasedhiya, asale saka tanduran utawa kewan, uga fluktuasi. [Kajaba iku], ora kena dilalekake manawa sajrone wektu iki sawetara spesies hominid uga ngetutake siji liyane sing duwe kabiasaan panganan sing beda-beda ... ”

Miturut artikel sing diterbitake ing 2000 ing American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, diet sing diusulake dening Loren Cortain ora cocog karo apa sing dipangan kabeh leluhur kita. Sawetara, umpamane, luwih herbivora tinimbang karnivora, mburu bisa uga luwih dominan ing populasi sing manggon ing papan sing dhuwur. Kajaba iku, wong prasejarah ora duwe kebebasan kanggo milih apa sing dipangan: padha mangan apa sing kasedhiya, kang temenan beda-beda saka panggonan kanggo panggonan, lan saka wektu kanggo wektu taun.

Panaliten paleo-antropologi^1-9 (Thanks kanggo tandha sing ana ing balung utawa lapisan untu untu) nuduhake sing luar biasa. macem-macem prilaku mangan wektu, saksi kanggo keluwesan diijini dening organisasi. Neanderthal ing Eropah, contone, duwe diet khusus daging, nalika Homo Sapiens, spesies kita, bisa mangan produk sing luwih maneka warna, kayata panganan laut utawa produk asal tanduran gumantung saka lokalitase. .
