So much for a "paleo" diet which was all meat and fish.
"Paleo" people were eating starchy tubers like potatoes very early in human history. Now those genetic studies showing the snps for starch digestion in hunter-gatherers make sense.
Another accepted "truth" down the drain.

"Seeds of root vegetables and other plants have found at an 800,000-year-old site in Israel where early humans lived, but Wadley’s find is the earliest clear evidence of roasting."
Yum...roasted potatoes, carrots, onions, celery in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary. One of my favorite things ever. Put a roasting chicken on top and it's a whole meal with about 25 minutes of prep time even with all the peeling, so less without it. It does have to roast for close to an hour or so, but you can change your clothes, have a glass of wine, even a bubble bath soak while it's cooking.
