The Paleolithic diet, also known as the caveman diet, is a nutritional plan based on wild plant and animal based food sources. The dietary regiment mimics that of pre-agriculture hunter-gatherers.

The protracted struggle between science and the classics appears to be drawing to a close, with victory about to perch on the banner of science, as a perusal of almost any university or college catalogue shows.

The classi...
