So, dry aged steaks from organically raised cattle will make you into a neanderthal?
My mouth is watering.
Starch grains???
What, you mean, no Big Macs, or Whoppers??? Or Wendy’s Double Cheeseburgers????
:^)
More than what the ancient people ate, more important is to know how often they ate. They did not have stocks of ready to eat foods sitting in the fridge. Daily search for food most likely began at dawn, and by the time they found and killed an animal and dragged the carcass back to the cave to be butchered -or- found enough fruits and root vegetables was several hours later. And after they had eaten a belly full that was most likely well into late afternoon and was probably the last and only meal of the day.
If this ritual went on for a million years or so before agriculture was invented about 15,000 years ago, human genes have 98.5% cave man genes.
So..follow your genes, walk a lot every day and eat a lot in a short period of time every day for the best chance of avoiding modern man diseases like diabetes, heart disease and joint pains.
That kills my Neanderthal Vegan Fine Dining plan.
“[...] suggest the early human relatives ate more meat than do carnivores [...]”
Stopped reading right there. That statement makes no sense at at all. Where did editing disappear to?
Beef tips with mango chutney, penne pasta and a bottle Merlot.
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.
If you are a caveman with a spear, I don’t think you would try to dig a garden with it. Other than some wild plants or berries they knew about, what else would you expect them to eat?
There are lots of them in Congress....
Aged beef........ yummmm
Shot ducks must be hung for several days before cleaning and eating
Maybe their own decay contributed to the high level of nitrogen 15.
They found a poster: “The Paleo Diet. How Your Uncle Ate.”
Gives a historical perspective of diet all the way back to neanderthal and recommends diet by blood type.
