Isotope studies have also found evidence that ancient humans were hypercarnivores. A lot of what you eat depends on where you are and the culture you live in. Study the Inuit and you will think humans are hypercarnivores. Study India and you might think we are herbivores.
A couple sites in the Andes only prove people in that time and place depended on gathering. The real question for me is who is healthier: the hunters, the gatherers, or some diet in between?
Thank you. Analytical thinking is a dying skill. Much appreciated…
Intuits did not exist 500,000 years ago.
My 1st hubby and I spent much of our vaca time at survival schools in NM, sometimes on week-long survival excursions where you built a shelter, fetched water hunted and learned to gather edible stuff-you ate only what you hunted/gathered. Gathering enough plant food to stay fed for even one day is a real bitch-hunting is way better, but there have to be animals available to hunt...
