Kei te tarai maatau ki te mohio ki te waahanga o tenei kai e tika ana kia tino rite ki o tatou hiahia aa-ira. Engari kaore ko te paerewa o te ao mo te kai hou e arai i o taatau kanohi? Akene tera pea kotahi ano te kawanatanga i tera wa? Kaore pea. Mo te tohunga whaipara tangata, a Jean-Denis Vigne, kaore rawa e ruarua. ” Ka horahia te Paleolithic i roto i te waa tino nui atu i te 2 miriona tau. Heoi, i tenei waa, he rereke te rerekee o nga huarere: ka whakaaro tetahi mo nga waa rererangi, te whakamahana ranei! E kii ana tenei kua rereke nga rauemi kai e waatea ana, ahakoa na te tipu, na te kararehe ranei. [Hei taapiri], kaua e warewarehia i tenei waa he maha nga momo hominid i whai i a ratau ano he rerekee nga tikanga kai a tetahi ki tetahi… ”

E ai ki te tuhinga i whakaputaina i te tau 2000 i te American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, ko te kai a Loren Cordain e kii ana kaore i tino rite ki nga kai o o tatou tupuna. Hei tauira, ko etahi he nui ake te tarutaru i te kaikorero, ko te hopu pea te mea nui i waenga i nga taupori e noho ana i nga waahi teitei. Hei taapiri, ko nga taangata o mua kaore i whai mana ki te whiriwhiri i nga mea i kainga e ratou: i kainga e ratou te mea e waatea ana, e tino marama ana te rereketanga o tera wahi ki tera waahi, mai i tenei wa ki tenei wa o te tau.

Rangahau Paleo-anthropological^1-9 (he mihi ki nga tohu kei roto i nga koiwi, te kiri ranei o nga niho) te mea tino nui te rereketanga o te whanonga kai o te wa, ka whakaatu i te ngawari e whakaaetia ana e te whakahaere. Ko nga Neanderthals o Uropi, hei tauira, he kai tino kai, ko Homo Sapiens, o taatau momo, ka taea te kai i nga momo momo rerekee ake, penei i te kaimoana, i nga hua tipu ranei i runga i to raatau waahi. .
