Description

The Paleolithic diet, also known as the caveman diet, paleodiet, Stone Age diet, or hunter-gatherer diet, is the diet of wild plants and animals that various human species (see Homo (genus)) habitually consumed during the Paleolithic period (the Old Stone Age), a period of about 2 million years duration, ending about 10,000 years ago, when our species, Homo sapiens, invented agriculture. The designation also applies to contemporary diets that resemble that preagricultural human diet in the plant and animal sources of food recommended for consumption and avoidance, though usually from domesticated sources.
