Paleo Diets in the Philippines Until the 16th Century

My sister in law “gifted” me with a paper entitled: Paleo Diets in the Philippines Up to the Spanish Period by Chef Raul ‘Sam’ T. Leoz, Jr. College of Tourism and Hospitality Management, University of Sto. Tomas 2010.

The author studied paleolithic evidence carbon dating back to 8,800 years before the present. Conclusion: Paleo Diet Philippines consisted of lots of marine and terrestrial creatures, vegetables and fruit. There was no evidence of starch consumption even though in parts of Asia, bananas and tubers were cultivated 25,000 BP. So paleo diet Philippines had no bananas and no tubers. Interesting.
