The Paleo Diet: Lose Weight and Get Healthy by Eating the Foods You Were Designed to EatThis provides extraordinary insight into the reasons behind adopting a paleolithic diet. Some aspects are controversial and many may feel it is too dogmatic. I have often gone back to this book and re-read it for clarification as Dr Loren Cordain is often mis-quoted. There is now a revised edition (2010 edition) to counter some of its earlier criticisms, this is an excellent resource and a must-read for any one serious about paleo nutrition.
