The Paleolithic people were nomadic people. During the Paleolithic Period foods were eaten raw. They did not eat grains or dairy products. Many grain were inedible raw. Additionally, beans and potatoes were inedible. Grains, beans and potatoes contain toxins eaten raw. Milk was not consumed during the Paleolithic period because animal had not been domesticated. The only sweetener was natural honey. For millions of years humans ate meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit, seeds, roots and leaves of different plants. Some studies indicated the the Paleolithic diet was one-half animal foods and the remainder fruits, vegetables and nuts. Around 10,000 years ago, there was a world changing discovery. The discovery was fire. Man discovered cooking. Cooking these foods killed the toxins making them edible. Cooking issued in the New Stone Age or the Neolithic Period. In the beginning food was either roasted or toasted. Roasting was limited to meats, nuts and a few grains.

After the Paleolithic period was the Neolithic period. The Neolithic period ushered in agriculture and pottery. People were able to stay and live in one place. People grew their own grains. Pottery made cooking easier and foods could be transported. Note, the Paleolithic people ate raw natural foods. Cooking enabled man to increase their diet by making inedible foods edible.
