How and why did diets change among early humans?

Read through the restaurant dishes on your handout and decide whether they belong in the Paleolithic era or Neolithic era. Be sure to explain why it belongs (based on its ingredients) in the era that you choose.

You have decided to open a pop up restaurant! Congratulations! However, you are low on funds and your rich uncle has decided he will give you all the money you need to open up, but on two conditions: you must create dishes with foods that were only available in the Paleolithic or Neolithic Age. You will have 30 minutes to work in pairs in order to create a menu of dishes with foods that were only available during the Paleolithic or Neolithic era using the menu template.
