The paleo philosophy is based on the belief that many of our modern-day health woes, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity all started when ancient man embraced farming practices and cultivated crops.

It claims that, genetically speaking, the nutritional needs of modern humans remain best adapted to the diet of our ancestors and that the human body is best built to deal with food which is sourced from hunting, fishing and gathering, as opposed to foods that have become available since the advent of agriculture.

However, believing our genes are nutritionally tied to our cavemen friends leaves scientists still hunting for clues.
