Gee, I dunno.

First: How long did hunter-gatherer mothers nurse their young with human breast milk?

And then when they weaned their kids, what solid food did they give them--straight meat if old enough or maybe insects--like soft grubs--or vertebrate meat chewed by an adult? Vegetables? Roots?

I'd like to know.

But in learning this, one must take care not to consider hunter-gatherers outside their ideal habitat; for example--not Eskimos.

Mabye African Bushmen or the remoter South American tribes (though none of either has escaped some changes to their traditional ways by the encroachment of civilization).

I wonder if the two-sets of teeth humans grow has something to do with the diet of young; if so , that might be a clue as to what human young were designed to eat.

I guess so... more caveman diet stuff. My mother never fed me baby cereal. She crushed bananas, plantain, peas,etc. She made her own stuff. I suppose people are too busy to made baby food anymore.
