Events › The Paleo(lithic) Diet: What Did Ancient People Eat?

Have you ever heard of the Paleo diet? It's a trend beloved by diet and fitness influencers who urge followers to "eat like our ancestors in the Paleolithic." But...what did our ancestors eat? What was actually on the menu 100,000 years ago? What's up with the idea that the ancient past was a better, healthier time for humans? Find out the answers to all of these questions and more with an archaeological look at how people ate in the past.

Presented by Anna Goldfield, a podcaster, science writer, illustrator, archaeologist and creator of all sorts of content to introduce people to the study of the world around us and its past. She is a producer for the Kids’ Podcast team at American Public Media Group.
