Abstract

Human beings have spent 95% of its life in the Paleolithic Period, in pre-agricultural nomadic communities. In fact, agriculture and sedentarism only represents 5% of Human life. The quid pro quo of hunting/gathering/nomadism for an agricultural/sedentary lifestyle was a capital and unprecedented change for Homo sapiens sapiens. In fact, even after so many millennia, these changes are still significant in current times. Concerning the field of nutrition, notice the lack of quorum among different scholars, with antagonistic perspectives about pre-gricultural diet. Drawing from this debate, this study focuses on the diet of Homo sapiens sapiens from the Upper Paleolithic to the Neolithic. It mainly seeks to ascertain what human groups ate during Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic, how did this diet change with Neolithic Revolution and which effects did the new diet had on their health.
