I am particularly interested in the following:
When, however, hunter-gatherers switch to eating modern diets they start getting these diseases at high rates. (Of course this correlation doesn't prove causation, but still...) Also, anthropological evidence from bones show that populations usually became less healthy after adopting agriculture.
Could you at least point me to somewhere (doesn't have to be a scientific paper) that supports it?
A bit of it is here:

Here is a good place to ask questions of paleo-knowledgeable people: http://paleohacks.com
I recently came out against paleo in the open thread, and realized that I probably haven't yet heard the strongest arguments in favor of a paleo diet. So, what are said arguments?
EDIT: Or more generally, why should I eat less carbohydrates and more protein / fat?
