For treatment success in particular, it only includes two trials, which is usually considered too few studies to do a meta-analysis. The citation doesn’t discuss animal fat, and notes that “the potential impact of varying fatty acid composition (saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat) on postprandial ghrelin response has been only scarcely investigated”.

It’s important to keep in mind that Neanderthals only contributed a small amount of genetic material to modern humans of European and Asian origin, and no genetic material to modern humans of African origin. A study using the gold-standard method for measuring insulin sensitivity reported that insulin sensitivity decreases on a very-low-carbohydrate diet.
