i would like to disagree on the suggestion that Mega Fauna disappeared solely (and only )due to over hunting by humans.Remember many species that went extinct in the western hemisphere also went extinct in Europe and Asia around the same time.Those animals in the Eastern Hemisphere had been living and hunted by Man for close to 30,000 years or so without being driven to extinction and only went extinct at the sametime Mega Fauna did in the West.Here in North America some 70 different species went extinct,3/4′s of them large mammals including mammoths,mastodons,giant bison,camels,ground sloths,cave bears and even a beaver the size of a small bear supposedly because of humans hunting one species to extinction then moving on to the next until none were left.
If man came to the last of the large mammals ,why did he not do the same to the next in line.The grizzly bear is not a small animal,yet it survived as did the modern bison(it’s cousin the Giant Bison with horns six feet across went out like a candle) we call the buffalo,the moose is not a small animal either,yet it is still with us.Also,the killing of the mega fauna was calculated to have taken only a thousand years or so,yet in the following 10,000 years humans in the west were unable to wipe out the modern bison,grizzly,moose,elk etc and they had far better weapons than their ancestors,better orginazation and a much higher population to support and to do the hunting.
Their were also extinctions in areas that man had no or little dealings with such as a great number of bird species and plants
again not just here in the west but in both hemispheres.
No doubt the enviorment was changing (for any number of reasons to many to go into)and had been for sometime placing stress on world wide animal populations.No doubt Man did his part in finishing them off but he was not the only reason for their disappearance.

There is no evidence that protein damages normal kidneys. The admonition to decrease protein intake is for those who have damaged kidneys to begin with. But even those people have to get an adequate amount of protein. If your BUN and creatinine numbers are a little high, you probably need to drink a little more water.

Dr. Eades, I have a really important question. I always eat chicken,salmon(as much as I can…because of the diffucult to access in my area), tuna fish, and meat and so on. I really get scared because even though I haven’t got kidney problems, my creatinine level went up to 1.4 recently and after a week or two it went down to 1.1 .Also the most recent my BUN level was 29, which is close to 30, the number normal people can’t get. I’m not sure exactly what the paleo style is, but I know that to make insulin level low, I eat proteins mostly, oh,,I love milk mixed with coffee.. by the way. With this way of diet I get fit and I try to get away from the situations when I should eat carbos…which I don’t like..which makes me slow and sleepy. Of course, I get tired everyday,,I recently started to take magnesium oxide and vitamin once a day …I read your book.
Anyway, what I worry about is that do I have to stop eating protein like this because it might lead to kidney failure?? I’m satisfied with the situation looking at myself fit and lost weight and got some muscles…what do you think?? Is this dangerous to eat so much protein without exercise?? I eat plenty plenty of meat everyday.

70% of my calories come from fat, and I am absolutely the healthiest I have ever been. My parents (both doctors) insisted on blood work weekly when they heard about what I was going to do.

They are now both on the high animal fat version of Paleo, after seeing my blood work.

From what I could deciper from the article is that since Paleolithic man has been eating food with high concentration of satuation fat for years, his body, his immune system got well adapted to this type of diet. Once he switched his diet,most probably the body did not accept it. And that is why there were health issues. Who knows maybe the men before Paleolithic era could have been different diet and the transition would have caused some health issues which we might never know.
