Abstract

We would like to thank Drs. Muskiet and Carrera-Bastos for contributing to the interesting and ongoing debate about the Paleolithic diet. Drs. Muskiet and Carrera-Bastos raise questions about three main aspects of our recent paper: 1) our depiction of the research of proponents of the Paleolithic diet, 2) the extent to which epigenetics is a set of genetic mechanisms, and 3) the role of cultural transmission and social learning in shaping evolutionary pressures and human diets in the preagricultural past. Each of these issues is addressed below.
