• Homo erectus Man first diverged from apes over 12 million years ago and from that period until the Neolithic period when agriculture first appeared, the various Homo species are assumed to have lived on wild fruit and vegetables (including leaves) and scavenged protein, then developing hunting as tools were developed (2 million years ago). Homo erectus, who emerged between 1 .8 and 2 million years ago, is regarded as the first Homo species with many key humanlike traits. These include the large brain, that is thought to have been able to develop as a result of a switch to meat eating (initially scavenging and later hunting), but also a smaller gut and much smaller teeth and jaws.

• the unhealthy diet contained moderate amounts of polyphenolic / antioxidant compounds (615 mg GAE.diet "1 ), with a vitamin C level surprisingly above the UK Recommend Daily Allowance of 60 mg.
• the individual flavanoids assayed were not detectable suggesting that the total phenolic assay was only detecting non-flavanoid antioxidants in this sample.
• Starch, sucrose and lactose levels were relatively high in this diet, reflecting its 'processed food' / dairy-containing composition. Glucose levels were relatively low, reflecting the lack of vegetable material, particularly fruit.
• the diet based on WHO guidelines contained higher levels of both polyphenolic / antioxidant compounds (998 mg GAE.diet “1 ) and vitamin C (176 mg.diet “1 ). It also contained 6 of the 14 assayed flavanoids. Again, starch, sucrose and lactose levels were relatively high in this diet due to the inclusion of a large quantity of carbohydrates specified in the WHO guidelines and the dairy component. Contrary to the unhealthy diet, glucose levels were moderately high, reflecting the inclusion of vegetable material. For the diet based on the Frassetto paper (FR), the levels of both polyphenolic / antioxidant compounds and vitamin C were comparable to the HE diet (990 mg GAE.diet "1 and 153 mg.diet "1 , respectively).
• the Palaeolithic based diet contained levels of both polyphenolic / antioxidant compounds and vitamin C higher than the HE or FR diets (1719 mg GAE.diet “1 and 353 mg.diet “1 , respectively) and contained 9 of the 14 assayed flavanoids, with the profile differing from both the HE and FR diets. This reflects the higher levels of plant material in the Palaeolithic based diet compared with the others. Carotenoids were also assayed with ⁇ - carotene, lycopene and xanthophyll being detected at significant levels, but with lower lycopene levels than the FR diet due to the latter's reliance on tomato soup.

• the protein levels translate into 109 g/daily diet for the unhealthy diet, 79 g/daily diet for the diet based on WHO guidelines and 182 g/daily diet for the Paleolithic based diet.
• the sodium level is comparatively low.
• Palaeolithic diet is the low of ⁇ -6 : ⁇ -3 fatty acids ratio which is at odds with the current dietary advice that this ratio should be about 10 : 1 and also at odds with Simopoulos, A.P. (Biomed. Pharmacother., 56, 365-379,(2002)) and Simopoulos, A.P. (World Rev. Nutrit. Dietet, 92, 1 - 174 (2003)) that the ratio should be more in the region of between 3 : 1 and 1 : 1. Cordain L. et al. (Am.

The samples were centrifuged for 2 minutes on a table top centrifuge at maximum speed to harvest cells were from the supernatant. Both pellets and supernatant were frozen at -20 degrees centigrade for later use. Blank and inulin only fermentations (no pre-digestion required) were conducted with the amount of inulin matching the amount of combined retentates for each diet. Inulin was used as a positive control to confirm that fermentation was taking place
• DNA isolation from frozen cell pellets for microbial quantification was carried out with the Stool isolation kit from Qiagen according to the manufacturer's instructions with the following modifications. 600-650 mg 0.1 mm zirconia/silica glass beads (BioSpec Products) was added to cells re-suspended in a cell lysis buffer (ASL buffer provided in kit). The suspension with beads was subsequently shaken for 45 seconds at speed setting 6 in a high-speed benchtop reciprocating device for disruption of cell membranes (Fastprep® FP120 (MP Biomedicals)). This process led to mechanical lysis of the cells. The obtained suspension was incubated for 5 minutes at 95 degrees centigrade and the obtained DNA stored at -20 degrees centigrade until further use. Microbial quantification by qPCR

• FIGs 2a to 2c and figures 3a to 3c the latter set of figures for diets normalised on the relative contribution of each diet, show that whilst there is, as expected some variation in the numbers of microbes from volunteer to volunteer, the Paleolithic based diet generally shows higher total levels of microbes.

• HITchip and qPCR results showed that Bacteroides was increased in the fermentation of the Palaeolithic based diet compared to the other diets (taking into account that total fermentation was less for the Palaeolithic based diet (see table 9) so even though less material was fermented comparable amounts of bacteroides were seen for the Palaeolithic based diet suggesting that if fermentable levels were equal the number of Bacteroides for the Palaeolithic based diet would be higher).
