>>  and also that evolution works much more rapidly than paleo people give it credit for.



Although I'm still on the fence somewhat regarding the 'age of cooking', I am less so regarding the evolution debate. I always get back to this basic question -



The domesticated dog has been with us for a long, long time. Because of their much shorter lifespans, and because of the enormous environmental (breeding) pressure *we* place on them, and because they are constantly exposed to and share what we eat (good and bad); I would expect to see fairly noticeable adaptations in their digestive and dietary requirements. Yet, their basic dietary needs remain basically the same as they were millennia ago. I may be way off base... maybe it's because they are 'more' carnivorous than we... or maybe they are just have a better basic 'design'. Nonetheless, it makes me wonder.
