I’m not seeing a proven causal link between feeding animal milk to human babies and lower infant mortality. The fact that the baby-feeding jars were found in children’s graves doesn’t obviously imply a positive correlation!

Another possibility to explain growing population is that more sedentary lives meant mothers could nurse babies more successfully, or that fewer children died from accidents associated with nomadic life.

I like that the baby bottles were shipped like various small animals to provide entertainment value for the baby.

OK, I understand the ceramic bottles, but surely they didn't use ceramic nipples. I mean, babies don't 'drink', they suckle - it is instinctive.

It seems they ate many of the things we eat today, including various types of meat, dairy products, fish, vegetables and honey.

Amazing. I wonder how far back you'd have to go to find that people didn't eat these things. Proteins, fats, oils, carbs....
