"They made vension jerky, by salting the meat and drying it in the sun." Not 2.5 million years ago. Back in those days, they didn't even have fire (or if they did, it was "just barely"). I'm sure "advanced" preservation methods like drying, salting, etc. only developed MUCH later.

Everyone knows that PETA is right. Our human ancestors did not eat meat. They made stone arrowheads and spear heads for killing the plants. They had no use for bows and arrows, other than to kill those fast running plants.

"It's based on the teachings of a prof of mine that has more or less expressed that communism didn't work simply because fo the people in charge... not exactly stellar researcher in my opinion, but an overall good guy."
ha... thats what all communists claim. It's why communism refuses to die even though it has never worked no matter who was in charge. Your "prof" is a moron and not a "good guy".

And let us not forget those wicker shields, to protect them selves from the cacti.
But wait, what did they do about the carnivorous plants? Could they not defend themselves with kindness from the Venus Fly Traps???

I'll agree, he is a moron. But being around him is different. He's nice, forgiving, and fairly well mannered. He's a good guy, he's just stupid is all.

"They DID however, have an abunance of salts."
Actually salt has historically been very rare until recently. Many cultures used it as money since a very small amount was worth a lot.

I've been a vegetarian for several decades now, and my chest hair hasn't thinned. Curious ... what kind of vegetarian are you ? and do you eat mushrooms ?

I didn't scratch and crawl my way to the top of the food chain to eat a bowl of salad.

As soon as humans learned to use simple tools then hunting and trapping would become relatively easy. If you can throw a stick you can take rabbits, squirrels, and birds. If you can sharpen a spear you can take porcupines and fish. If you can dig a pit you can take large game. Omnivores eat anything they can get their hands on and keep eating it until its gone. The idea that they only killed one deer per season is ludicrous. Native American hunters took a deer or similar sized animal once a week. Moreover, low fat game such as rabbit and deer are high protein with high levels of healthy CLA (a fat which prevents heart disease and cancer). Even Inuit who dined on high fat arctic game avoided heart disease because of EPA and DHA which are healthy omega3 fats.

Evolution?!? Everybody knows that God designed humans to be meat-eaters! Actually She didn't. She changed her mind later.

I would have figured any coastal peoples would have had the disticnt advantage of salt when compared to the minimal fire as per the post i was responding to.
I should have worded it differently.
