“During their analysis, the researchers discovered starch grains approximately 780,000 years old on the basalt tools.”

At one site, they found evidence of grains being ground on a few tools. A couple of questions;

1) Carbon 14 can work back to 50,000 years. How did they date something back 780,000 years?

2) How does this speak to it being their central food source? It could easily be one band taking advantage of one plant based source in that one location.

3) The purpose of those diets, Caveman, Keto, Carnivore etc is associated with health. What was the lifespan of this acorn and weed eating cavemen?
