They got more carbs then you might think.    Here's a good summary of their diet --


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit_diet


"However, evidence has shown that Inuit have a similar prevalence of coronary artery disease as non-Inuit populations and they have excessive mortality due to cerebrovascular strokes."


I've seen that last fact repeated in different studies.   There was (and still is) some myth their high-fat/fish-oil diet was heart protective but this turned out not to be the case.


Bottom line Vince - men were made to **** and make babies (which is why we are all so preoccupied with our morning erections, ED, testicular atrophy, and so forth.)   Our ancestors simply ate what they could find to stay alive long enough to make these babies.   All this perfect diet stuff to achieve a perfect health is not what we're about.   But we've evolved a lot of intelligence over the years and now have the ability to analyze our lifestyle and foods in order to keep screwing like rabbits late into our lives as possible.   


There is no evidence whatsoever that our ancestors were healthier in any way - most died before they lived long enough to die of heart problems or cancer.   Many of our problems (cancer and CV for example), are diseases of an population living longer.   Some (autoimmune/diabetes) are a consequence of the industrialization of our food supply or of our bodies being deprived of all these dirty things such as bacteria, worms, and parasites that we evolved in tandem for millions of years, but have wiped out due to antibiotics and a cleaner overall environment, and living in houses/cities.


Not to mention, there is not one true Paleo food source still extant.  Everything has been genetically adapted by humans to suit our tastes, veggies, fruits, meat.  There some grains of truth in the Paleo diet - but their claims/science does not hold up.
