Paleo diet was a veggie feast with a side of meat

Today's Paleo diet cookbooks might be missing a few pages. It seems that the early ancestors were more adventurous with their plant foods than people might expect, with roasted acorns, sedges and water lily seeds all on the menu, along with fish and meats. Archaeologists tend to emphasize the role of meat in ancient human diets, largely because the butchered bones of animals are so likely to be preserved at dig sites.
