I haven't read Zuk's book, but this article seems to be focused on Zuk's refutations of various common conceptions and misconceptions of "paleo" peoples' lifestyles, from an evolutionary or anthropological perspective. I often think that the "paleo" adjective does more harm than good because it brings out the nitpickers (the role this article's author is playing) who like to focus on red herrings related to the belief that paleo people ate certain types of food or lived a certain way. What Zuk seems to be saying is: "it's not that simple". I don't think anybody disagrees with that.
I think even Zuk would agree that most people aren't well suited to the Standard American Diet based on refined grains and sugars and engineered fats. She'd probably also agree that a diet centered on high quality meats, vegetables, nuts, and eggs, is probably a healthier way to eat.
