This episode features Dr. James Cole and Dr. Federica Amati debunking myths about the Paleolithic diet. They reveal that ancient humans ate varied, locally adapted diets rather than just meat, and that cooking aided brain evolution. The discussion covers how fire and tool use changed our gut size and social habits. The experts conclude that while modern Paleo diets correctly reject processed foods, they inaccurately exclude healthy grains and dairy.
