New research suggests our ancestors may have gotten a lot of protein from—wait for it—maggots. Researchers surmised this by studying nitrogen isotope ratios in ancient human bones and how those ratios change in maggots feeding on rotted meat.

Researcher Herman Pontzer said, “I find the evidence here pretty convincing.”

This aligns with what we covered about the bad carnivore diet documentary: Our ancestors likely ate what was available. They were food opportunists, not nutrition influencers fretting about the optimal human diet.

TL;DR: If you want to truly eat paleo, eat maggots.
