They were ‘shopping lists’ from caveWOMEN to caveMEN to bring home whatever she pointed at!...............
Fixed it for you ;)
“You had to live. near a coastline with plant life.”
That’s why you often find Megan McCain in New York and DC. The shallow tidal waters help her stubby legs support her immense weight as she munches on tidal plants.
I read that in a dinosaur book when I was little.
“Scientists slam the Caveman Diet - and say early humans were mostly VEGETARIAN”
How can they watch The Flintstones cartoons and say that?
Just as I thought, they want us to relive the Stone Age, but with computers.
No thanks.
One scientist had a theory that the reason people don’t have much hair is we fished animals out of the water. IOW, people were semi-aquatic.
Some of the earliest human settlements had large mounds of clam shells and fish bones, which kind of boosts this theory. It’s easier to grab a clam that hunt a mammoth with a spear.
People in Africa and the South still catch fish by hand.
“Any Bible believer could tell you the first humans were vegetarians.”
How dare you refer to that antiquated collection of fables?!
(By the way, perfect to use that when discussing something coming from an Israeli University)
Adam and Eve had the Garden of Eden and all, but they were given dominion over all the animals of the earth, and at least one of their kids (the favored one) raised sheep.
Oh for sure. But do you see ancient man knowing this? A few rhousand years ago yes, not cavemen 50.000 years ago. I could br wrong.
Personally I go heavy on animal food, light on plant. For me the carbohydrate content of plant food is a bit much, for others it could be the opposite. But yeah we need both, I think the carnivore types are a bit extreme.
Who was the first guy to catch a lobster and say I wonder what this tastes like?
Man is a hero by nature. Woman a hero-worshipper. Shades of Ayn Rand.
Scenes depicting bringing down the huge Woolly Acorn with spears, and facing the fierce saber-toothed Cave Millet alone with only a torch were quite popular.
I am a ‘Second-Hand Vegan’.
Animals eat plants.
I eat animals....................
Here’s that use of the term “humans” to mean anything.
At 780kya , whatever it was using that tool was NOT our species.
So let’s talk about what ancient Homo sapiens ate:
“Early Americans ate tons of mammoth, 13,000-year-old bones from Clovis culture baby reveal”-https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/early-americans-ate-tons-of-mammoth-13-000-year-old-bones-from-clovis-culture-baby-reveal
“Neanderthals diet: 80% meat, 20% vegetables” - https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/03/160314091128.htm
“Homo sapiens 100,000 years earlier: Ancestors’ diet of game revealed” - New fossil finds from Morocco do more than push back the origins of our species by 100,000 years. They also reveal what was on the menu for our oldest-known Homo sapiens ancestors 300,000 years ago: Plenty of gazelle.

Caveman fried steak! LOL
The earliest human writing said:
“If it moves slow eat it.
If it moves fast tax it.”
Lol.
“Hares are very low fat meat.”
There is actually a term for that “rabbit starvation” or something like that. I can’t remember, but just like you said.
And I want to find the episode of that guy killing a musk ox. That is flat out dangerous. Slightly safer than a Cape Buffalo.... slightly.
Everyone who has seen cave paintings of salad realizes the scientists are right
The wheat we eat today is not like what it was in ancient times and we also did not spray it with roundup.
