"Look, the diet itself is sound; it’s the philosophy that’s bullshit.
Eat what you want. Just leave the damn cavemen out of it.”

Sigh. Then it's a bunch of scientists making fools of themselves, much
the same as Marlene Zuk did earlier this
year. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/is-it-all-just-a-paleofantasy/#axzz2lVLlYgZq,
setting up strawmen and knocking them down.
I'd recommend for anyone interest in what the topic in general read
"The Story of the Human Body" by Daniel E. Lieberman, an evolutionary
biologist.
With abandon,

From the article:
/“Nearly every food item you currently eat today has been modified
from its ancestral form, typically in a drastic way, ” he began.
“The notion that we have not yet adapted to eat wheat, yet we have
had sufficient time to adapt to kale or lentils is ridiculous. In
fact, for most practitioners of the Paleo Diet, who are typically
westerners, the majority of the food they consume has been
available to their gene pool for less than five centuries.
Tomatoes, peppers, squash, potatoes, avocados, pecans, cashews,
and blueberries are all New World crops, and have only been on the
dinner table of African and Eurasian populations for probably 10
generations of their evolutionary history. Europeans have been
eating grain for the last 10,000 years; we’ve been eating sweet
potatoes for less than 500. Yet the human body has seemingly
adapted perfectly well to yams, let alone pineapple and sunflower
seeds.”/
