I'm thinking it's more likely that certain genotypes (or possibly gut flora varieties) are just more predisposed to thrive on certain diets rather than there being a paleo style that's good for everyone. EG eskimos stay thin and healthy on their diet that's vastly different than the one that east asians stay thin and healthy on which is again different than other diets.
