"She lived during a time humans first introduced grains into their diet. This was done because they could be stored more quickly than meat and could also be used as a means of payment, according to anthropologist Bettina Jungklaus.

However, this led to a deterioration in people's general health."

That reminds me, I need to get some more bacon.

It’s more than that. Farmers didn’t have the tough life of a hunter-gatherer.

They were softies.

5,000 years is just a blink in evolutionary history. Throughout the vast majority of human existence, mankind evolved with a strong propensity to find its nuitrition and survival by eating animals of all sorts.The fact that humans were able to understand that the marrow of bones left behind by predators was good food, was essential for early food storage and survival. Humans also retained the capacity to digest fruits, edible roots and some whole plants. Yet the human population could never really grow or achieve its intelectual and cultural potential as long as humans were half starved, wandering hunter gatherers. It was not until they learned to cultivate grains, a nuitrition source that while they were able to digest but not what they were genetically equiped to use as a primary source, did the storage of adequate food stuffs become possible. People did not have to hunt/gather as a primary occupation. The population expanded greatly and civilization and culture evolved.Yet as the murder of Otzi shows and as is plainly discerned from current times, humans have always had the capacity to destroy themselves and the civilizations they have built. How else do you explain Biden and his cohorts?
