Hi Voyajer,

You are correct, I read this peice with a particular bias against Eaton himself and his numeric assumptions, which may have mislead many LC writers, such as Dr. Cordain.

However, the comment he made was based on his earlier study of Paleo foragers "Paleolithic Nutrition", not primates. And when he says "greater availability of animal fat", he mostly likely meant greater than too low , and up to 20-22% fat as his paper asserted.

I may be wrong, if he has another 1998 paper on primates as well, do you know?

Wa'il
