There are lots of them in Congress....
I wonder if they discovered salt and preservation early on. A cave can be a good environment and drying meat.
“Europeans like to hang their meat until the fly lava tenderize it then they scrape off the green goo. Likely also has high levels of N-15. Nothing has changed. The meat is really good by the way.”
Neanderthals probably spend a lot of time in caves because they are one of the best environments to cure meats. I like prosciutto but when I learned how it is made I was a bit grossed out.
“Prosciutto is made from the hind leg or thigh of a pig or wild boar. Once the leg is cleaned, it is heavily salted and left for two months in a cool, controlled environment (Neanderthal cave?). The salting process removes leftover blood and moisture and makes an unfit environment for bacteria.
After the salting process, the salt is washed from the meat and then left to dry age for up to 18 months. The entire prosciutto making process can take anywhere from nine months to two years.”
Aged beef........ yummmm
Shot ducks must be hung for several days before cleaning and eating
I have found intermittent fasting to be one of the quickest ways to get rid of aches and pains and to stop a cold I feel coming on. Humans weren’t created to eat 24/7. Autophagy is important.
I guess the Neanderthals drove their SUVs around... )
Did PETA exist back then?
Good for you! I have got rid of my border line diabetic condition, and lost fat around my waist (which I could not get rid of with plenty of exercise), and even my blood pressure is lower.....all with intermittent fasting. Just like all our ancestors...the Paleo people!
Have you tried 5/2? I lost lots of weight on that and still ate what I wanted.
Sorry don’t know 5/2, but I am already at desirable weight, so I just wanted to get rid of the love handle around waist. Those are very hard to get rid of. I get all my calories between 10 am and 6 pm. I eat a lot during those 8 hours then only water or plain tea out of that time slot.
A thought on when they learned that cooked meat tasted better...
Periodically prairie and/or forest fires would occur burning down whatever vegatation and animals trapped in the prairie fire. Having been without food for several days and coming upon the burned carcass, I think it possible, that being hungry they carved meat off the burned animal and consumed it.
Having eaten this burned meat, they found it easier to chew, tasted better and was easier on their digestive systems and this then led to their bringing raw meat home and having a BBQ between the periodic natural, wild fires. The more advanced people would have had beer and or wine to go with the meal. Just a thought....
Makes eminent sense, what you hypothesized.
Maybe their own decay contributed to the high level of nitrogen 15.
That wouldn’t work.
Sounds like the intermittent fasting thing ... eating between 4 to 6 p.m. and that's it. I'm told it helps with weight loss.
They found a poster: “The Paleo Diet. How Your Uncle Ate.”
“A Traditional Neanderthal Home”
They found a perfectly preserved fruitcake. No one would touch it then, either.
Many benefits! I will explain later why it works.
Yes all Democrats have neanderthal ancestors!
Not 4 to 6pm lol
More like do all your calorie intake during any 8 hour period to heal insulin resistance.
