review 1: The book gives a really interesting point of how we have ended up where we are today in terms of behavior, health, food, way of living. We can't get back to the paleolithic age, but we can try to mimic it in one or another way in order to improve our being. John Durant knows apparently how to make you think about your lifestyle and raises a lot of questions and interesting discussions one can do with his/her with friends.
review 2: I think "paleo" as a foundation for nutrition and well-being makes sense, but I don't really know the evidence for that. I was hoping to find it in this book. But Durant doesn't give any evidence, just a lot of meandering rhetoric. He actually spends a good chunk of the book discussing the well-being of the Jewish people over the ... morelast few thousands of years (post-paleo), with their blend of dietary/hygienic restrictions within an agricultural environment. It was interesting, but didn't really seem to support his "paleo manifesto" much. He just takes paleo as a given, then rambles on about how to live paleo in today's living arrangements. He also reeeeally wants you to know that he was on The Colbert Report once. less
