All of that from one tooth??? This guy might have been the only meat eater in the entire tribe with every body else eating banannas.

Hmmm. I guess a vegan Neanderthal wouldn't have fared too well.

Steele said, "remember too that they were consuming all parts of the animals, definitely the bone marrow and probably also the organs, not just the 'prime cuts.'" Did they use one of these?

“according to a new study on a large, worn Neanderthal tooth”
“We assume that Neanderthals were eating some plant foods, but given the present evidence, these plant foods were not significant sources of protein,”
A TOOTH?!?!????!!!! (yeah, I read the rest of the article about the surroundings)
This ‘researcher’ has a vested interest in publishing this dental voodoo/doodoo...

They’ve also done studies of fossilized scat that came to the same conclusion.

extinct hominids were not above eating every edible bit of an animal
The same is true for humans who eat hot dogs.

The extinct hominids were not above eating every edible bit of an animal, since they were dining for survival, explained Teresa Steele, one of the study's co-authors. While a steak dinner "is probably the closest modern comparison," Steele said, "remember too that they were consuming all parts of the animals, definitely the bone marrow and probably also the organs, not just the 'prime cuts.'"
Just checked Escoffier's book. As late as, say, this Friday night, some bipeds in France were enjoying bone marrow with truffle sauce.
Lucky barstids.
Don't knock it.

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve
Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe. [pp 126-127]
