- Protein content of diets dictates the daily energy intake of a free-ranging primate (2009, background): “Human obesity and associated disease is commonly attributed to a mismatch between modern diets rich in carbohydrates and lipids, and phenotypes that evolved in Paleolithic nutritional ecologies where diets were relatively high in protein and fiber (Eaton et al. 1999; Cordain et al. 2000).”
- Critical role for peptide YY in protein-mediated satiation and body-weight regulation. (2006, background): “As far as can be judged, hunter-gatherer societies were largely protected from the diseases of affluence (Cordain et al., 2000).”
- Embodied Capital and the Evolutionary Economics of the Human Life Span (2003, methodology): “Similarly, using all 229 hunter-gatherer societies described in the Ethnographic Atlas (Murdock 1967) and Murdock’s estimates based upon qualitative ethnographies, Cordain et al. (2000) found median dependence on animal foods in the range of 66 to 75 percent.”
- Fat composition and Nunamiut decision-making: a new look at the marrow and bone grease indices (2007, background): “Human foragers generally ignore or reduce consumption of stressed or severely starved animals because high intake of lean (fat-depleted) meat, in the absence of other sources of calories, can lead to protein poisoning [11,32,38,39].”
- Beyond milk, meat, and eggs: Role of livestock in food and nutrition security (2013, background): “…were considerably greater than the current recommended levels of daily energy intake: 19 to 35% came from protein, 22 to 40% from carbohydrates, and 28 to 50% from fat (Eaton et al., 1997; Cordain et al., 2000), suggesting that humans are well adapted to consuming animal and fi sh proteins and fat.”
