From the paleolithic diet to the raw food diet, many health-conscious Americans want to eat the way our ancient ancestors ate because it's more "natural." But some of these back-to-our-roots dietary prescriptions make little sense for modern humans according to one expert.
The Paleo — prehistoric, or early human — diet seems to create more questions than answers.

But the biggest problem comes in an attempt to identify what early bipeds really ate without considering a host of other important factors ranging from stomping grounds to food availability and everything in between.
