The major turning point in human history was that people settled down and developed a…

Kidney stones are made from mineral and acid salts (Mayo Clinic). Kidney stones are often formed in our kidneys, usually because of urine becomes highly concentrated, which allow the minerals and salts to stick together and form the stone (Mayo Clinic.

To put it most simply, the Paleo diet is whatever would have been eaten by people living anywhere from 10,000 to 2,500,000 years ago - generally known as Palaeolithic man (and woman of course!). Of course there are a few issues when it comes to knowing exactly these 'cavemen' actually ate. Not least is the fact that they lived an awfully long time ago!

Beginning about 2.5 million years ago the “Old Stone Age” era or Paleolithic period occurred. Due to no written records left from that time, what we know is based off of actual physical evidence found.

Major characteristics of this time consisted of a few different “types” of humans yet only one type continuing into the Neolithic or New Stone Age. During the Paleolithic timeframe, they…
