If you have images of people on paleo diets (any variety), post 'em here.

Here's a photo set of the Hadza who live by hunting animals and foraging fruits, berries and tubers:

Great photos, but it is a shame they don't share ages. Also, they all seem to have a good amount of sun damage, which is to be expected given they live outdoors.

Here are some pictures of the Piraha people, a hunter-gatherer society living in the Amazon rain-forest.

There's a thirteen long article that goes a long with those photos. The author stayed with them for two weeks and describes how they live, it's very interesting! Thank you for sharing your find JLL!!

Great Idea. I'll try and find some pics later.

Yeah. Sun damage doesn't really worry me because it can be prevented to a large degree. In the set you posted you can really see how people's facial features and bone structure change with age, it's quite scary really.

You should be afraid, be very afraid! 

When you first found out that sun damage can be "prevented", probably 20-25% of your life time damage was already done. And even the best sun screens are by far not enough, not that people apply meaningful amounts of those sun screens in the first place, further marginalising their benefits. While photoaging can be mitigated it's still a pretty sad state of affairs.

I'm not so sure it is bone structure that changes so much as muscles (Have you ever looked at the skulls of dead young adults under 40 and compared them to dead people over 40? No fundamental differences can be noted). When muscles atrophy through lack of use (the upper facial muscles are very seldom used through ones life) they might sag a little. But I am still convinced that a large degree of that look is caused by skin wrinkling and loss of volume, thus revealing the bones and atrophied muscles.

Thanks for the delightful reminder

The only solution, besides an engineering approach to remodel the skin, is probably a degree of heliophobia.

Piraha supposedly have a language without recursion. There's analysis of (and link) to an on that edge.org here.

The Batek are a tribe with a woman as the informal leader. I think it's she's in this pic. I can't find unified source of pics of the Batek so here.
