I like me some Ibex myself as well, marinated with a little garlic, Worcestershire and Frank’s red hot.

The way this man is being treated in his after life, makes me want to be cremated.

Of interest this guy was a meat eater. I find it odd the lefties haven’t faked the report to show he was a solid vegan.
Also of interest are the tatoos. I’ve often heard there’s not much different between man of several thousand years ago to man of today other than the advances brought by science and technology. Sorta blows the evolutionary theory out of the water.

Not sure if this is suppose to be a surprise or what, it’s well known that early man consumed large amounts of fat, Native Americans were no different. Pemmican was nothing more than dried meat and fat/grease, sometime having local berries added. Packed in a gut or intestine it had a lengthy shelf life. The original survival food, dense in protein and calories.

When you look at some of the flint artifacts from that time period you quickly understand the skill and intelligence required. There were no books or any means of recording history so everything had to be shared verbally and remembered. Native Americans told stories of their past to the younger ones in great detail. The mental maps they had to store for life in order to navigate throughout the area. Water here, food sources there, where to find the best chert for making stone points and blades, where caches of blades and point material were hidden for further use. Running out of knappable stone was no different than running out of ammunition.

Ive often heard theres not much different between man of several thousand years ago to man of today other than the advances brought by science and technology. Sorta blows the evolutionary theory out of the water.I perceive that you have made a deep study of the topic, and after close examination of all the available evidence, have come to a rock-solid conclusion.

5300 years ago is not even a gnats eye blink. Otzi is the best preserved body of a European man of that era. Trying to tie it in some way to making a statement pro or con about evolution is ridiculous!
