Human ancestors like Australopithecus – which lived around 3.5 million years ago in southern Africa – ate very little to no meat, according to new research published in the scientific journal Science. This conclusion comes from an analysis of nitrogen isotope isotopes in the fossilized tooth enamel of seven Australopithecus individuals. The data revealed that these early hominins primarily relied on plant-based diets, with little to no evidence of meat consumption.
It is always fun to see how offended meat-eaters get in threads like this. The beef lobby has successfully tied their product to your sense of self-worth. Congratulations, you’re very macho and manly for eating meat.
Its not a topic in this thread.
It isn’t? You’re telling me you don’t see anyone being defensive about this topic? Maybe you have them blocked or something.
