The RP diet clearly could not have been eaten by a hunter gatherer, but is it possible it's an improvement on our ancestral diet (whatever that is anyway)? As an example, it's believed by some that cooking is what allowed homo species to acquire more nutrients with less effort and evolve into us modern humans. This is an example of a species moving towards a diet that it did not evolve to eat, yet thriving and improving in ways (ie: brain size). Could it be possible to create a modern diet that further reduces the energy and stress required to meet nutrient needs? If so, could Peat be on to a modern improvement to the age old question of how to feed ourselves? Sure, we didn't evolve with milking or juicing technology, but maybe this is the next great step forward in human nutrition.
