Archaeology-Hour Screening: What was the REAL Paleodiet?

About this event

Please join us for an in-person screening and informal discussion of the Archaeology Hour talk by Briana Pobiner (Smithsonian).

The modern "paleo" diet movement makes many assumptions about what our ancient humans ate. But are these assumptions accurate, based on what we know about past diets? Presenting a variety of lines of evidence for prehistoric human diets including early human, animal, and plant fossils, ancient stone tools, DNA, and living human and chimpanzee diets, Dr. Pobiner will discuss significant changes in the evolution of human diets – and highlight what makes human meat-eating unique.

This event is free and open to the public.
