The Scars of Evolution"The most remarkable aspect of Todaro's discovery emerged when he examined Homo Sapiens for the 'baboon marker'. It was not there... Todaro drew one firm conclusion. 'The ancestors of man did not develop in a geographical area where they would have been in contact with the baboon. I would argue that the data we are presenting imply a non-African origin of man millions of years ago.'" [Primary Literature by Jonathan Marks
by Elaine Morgan
Benveniste, Raoul E. and Todaro, George J. (1976) Evolution of type C viral genes: Evidence for an Asian origin of man. Nature, 261:101-107. This study also applied DNA hybridization to the apes. They found a 3-way split.

Unexpected!
From carbon isotopes the whiz kids say that this beast/man chowed down on grass or sedges?
I’d like to know how this got figured out. What if they ate beef... which in turn ate the grass or sedges?
we weren’t allowed to eat meat until after the flood, no surprise here.
I’m surprised at how Mick Jagger can play bluesy harmonica the way he does...
That was the time of the first quotation of a divine affirmative statement in scripture about it; however the concept of animal sacrifices was much older (it was the point of friction between Cain and Abel), and the use of skins was obviously deemed okay. It would be surprising if in such a situation people yet remained vegetarians.
I’d want to know how the whiz kids deduced this. Humans and humanoid animals have traditionally been omnivores.
interesting but I doubt we know half of it
Well, it seems that very early man knew how to chew those pesky plants that soaked up CO2, to give him energy whilst balancing the CO2 of the planet for thousands of later generations to enjoy the sun on a beach
The use of skins was deemed okay because God Himself first made coverings for Adam and Eve out of an animal skin.
However the sacrifices were burnt offerings and they were consumed by the fire. Nowhere in the sacrifice rituals did anyone ever eat the animal after it was made a burnt offering to God.
Permission was given only after the flood, after the entire earth’s ecosystme had drastically changed. And at this time God put fear of man into animals because of this change, so that they wouldn’t be hunted to extinction.
This is, at best, speculation.
Quickly following on the heels of the Fall was a time when men stopped caring about the Lord. To assume that people remained faithful to a command to be vegetarian is naive.
I knew my ex-wife would use the Christmas present I bought her three years ago.
Sauteed ants.
Your viewpoint is as speculative as mine, as the fruit and vegetation before the flood grew greatly and was watered from below the ground, all various kinds of edible fruits and nuts and plants were in abundance and nobody would have needed to eat meat.
However, whether some did or didn’t, what is fact is that permission for peole to eat animals was not given until after the Flood, and the fear of man was not placed in animals until after the Flood.
LOL!!
It is a crucial point to the credibility of omnivore diets vs. vegetarian to note that disobedience was the norm — in fact meat may have been viewed not just as something nice but as an overtly pagan act.
