A Paleolithic diet consumed by contemporary humans consists of items of foods selected from the types or groups of foods consumed by ancestral humans who lived during the Paleolithic age, or Old (paleo) Stone (lithic) age, predominantly in Sub-Sahara Africa, beginning approximately 2 million years ago (2 mya) and ending with the introduction of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago (10 kya)[1] The term applies also to the diet consumed by those Paleolithic human ancestors.
