Early man ate carbs and processed food 780,000 years ago, northern Israel site shows

It's a shame that the writer is misrepresenting the Paleo diet and also ignoring the distinction between processed and ultra-processed foods.

It essentially comes down to what Michael Pollan once said: “Don’t eat anything your great-great grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food.” Great advice!

Depends on one's heritage...  My ancestors were Irish and Scots respectively and none of them would have recognised olive oil, let alone spices.   Oily fish would have been their best health food.
