Answer by samira_shah
Much of the research into the paleo diet has focused on hunter-gatherers. The hunter-gatherer way of life sustained humanity for most of the past 2.4 million years. Some believe that a paleo diet incorporating the eating habits of hunter-gatherers represents the proper mix of foods for modern man.
According to proponents of the paleo diet, the prevalence of many diseases — such as heart disease, diabetes and obesity — in Western societies is because we’ve strayed from this ideal diet.
One common criticism of the paleo diet is that hunter-gatherers didn’t live long enough to contract many of the diseases (such as heart disease or diabetes) all too common in Western society.
