October AIA Archaeology Hour with Briana Pobiner: What was the REAL Paleodiet?
October 21 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Virtual Event
Sponsored by: Archaeological Institute of America
Lecturer: Briana Pobiner
The modern “paleo” diet movement makes many assumptions about what our ancient humans ate. But are these assumptions accurate, based on what we know about past diets? Presenting a variety of lines of evidence for prehistoric human diets including early human, animal, and plant fossils, ancient stone tools, DNA, and living human and chimpanzee diets, Dr. Briana Pobiner will discuss significant changes in the evolution of human diets–and highlight what makes human meat-eating unique.
Join the AIA as Briana Pobiner (Smithsonian) presents the first AIA Archaeology Hour talk the International Archaeology Day 2026 AIA Archaeology Hour talk : “What was the REAL paleodiet?.”
