Thirty years on the broad spectrum revolution and paleolithic demography. This article is about how human consumption of prey became diversified and the causes of that diversification. This diversification is referred to as the broad spectrum revolution . The article looks back to a time nearly 200,000 years ago with a focus on three mediterranean locations: One of the reasons thought to be why humans diversified their diet from different species of prey was climate change. This was found to have little to no affect. The main reasons why humans began changing dietary habits are out of convenience.

Size was not the ultimate factor but instead a relation of size to how well a potential prey can avoid or defer predation.
