Some scientific problems with
modern paleo movement include: 1) dogmatic insistence on the Raymond Dart model of «man the hunter», which has been contested and supplanted in paleoanthropology for decades; 2) ignorance about the speed of evolutionary
adaptation, for example our very recent acquisition of lactase persistence and high amylase gene number; 3)
focus on the diets of 80 - 10,000 years ago, dismissing the 40 million years when our lineage were predominantly herbivorous forest dwellers.
