    ### It is more precise to say that this person is likely adapted better to
    the paleodiet (eat fresh meat, veggies) than to the alternatives available
    and tested by his ancestors (e.g. eat rotten meat, chalk, and sawdust).
    Whether there are other types of diet which are better than paleodiet, does
    not follow directly from the evolutionary argument.
