I always assumed that Paleo didn't mean "no carbs", it meant "modeled after pre-agricultural diets", but that mainly the term Paleo was marketing anyway. I think Paleo adherents might say that it doesn't much matter what paleolithic man ate, what matters is what's healthy for modern man, which (they believe) is what their diet represents. So this kind of anthropological counterargument won't convince anyone, though it may make some people feel a smug sense of satisfaction.
