Early Meat-Eating Human Ancestors Thrived While Vegetarian Hominin Died Out
http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/...inin-died-out/ This is a good example of how Scientific American has gone from a once-respected scientific journal to a politically correct one. And how cognitive dissonance reigns supreme in the PC community. First she acknowledges that vegetarians (Paranthropus robustus) died out, while meat-eaters thrived. But then she has to spread the PC meme: Meat is still bad for you! Despite study after study after study that suggests otherwise. She wouldn't even be here to write this article without the meat-eaters, yet... "The ancestral Australopithecus consumed a wide range of foods, including, meat, leaves and fruits. This varied diet might have been flexible to shift with food availability in different seasons, ensuring that they almost always had something to eat. Paranthropus, according to the elemental analysis, was largely a plant eater, which matches up with previous studies of tooth morphology and wear patterns. It also helps to explain the massive jaw structure they possessed, which could have come in handy for tough food stuffs and earned one specimen the nickname “nutcracker man.” Early Homo, on the other hand, went in for a meat-heavy diet—possibly enabled by the use of tools for hunting and butchering." -- Dogman "I have approximate answers and possible beliefs in different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything" - Richard Feynman |
