People still eat them.

I guess alligators are giant water lizards.

> “First evidence that ancient humans ate snakes and lizards is unearthed in Israel”

My poor eyesight, before squinting, read the title as:

“First evidence that ancient humans ARE snakes and lizards is unearthed in Israel”

My first thought was this was a slur on Israel.

My second thought was this could well-explain where Democrats come from.

(yawn)

iguana

The other white meat. With rice as a side, not a bad meal. A bottle Franks reds sauce (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DWqgNlfzOs) is a plus factor.

Hi.

By that time fire was cooking meat.

So, rattlesnake (yum), frog legs and alligator tail would be a delicacy.

I’m guessing of course.

Well, they say that humans originated in Africa, and then emigrated to the rest of the world. These must have been the Chinese. They must have spent some time in the Middle East before moving further east.

They found an ancient piece of linen with some characters written on it. When they translated the inscription it simply said “Ranger”.

Why wouldn’t they eat snakes and lizards? Humans are omnivores, we eat anything including bugs. Who approved this stupid thesis project?

It is my belief that “early humans” ate whatever they could get their hands on,
including each other if it came down to survival.
