Do you see my point? Your posts are irrelevant and a complete waste of everyone's time. That is why I wanted to give up a few posts ago. There is no hope in getting through to you. Maybe it's because I'm not smart enough, I don't know.
And by the way, your studies are referring to early hominids, not paleolithic people. In other words, they were barely even humans by that point (over 3 million years ago). I am talking about "the stone age" where we had the means and tools to catch prey (and cut meat, which is what the very first tools were used for). That is who we are genetically identical to, not the ones you are referring to. |
It's not that you aren't smart enough, it's because you aren't just too stubborn to realize a lot of your "ideas" are not correct. If physical anthropologists can't agree about the right composition of protein, fats, carbohydrates of diets of early humans, why the hell do you think you are right with your "ideas."
Additionally, you are an idiot if you think today's modern hunter gatherers are the same as early human hunter gatherers. Do you have any idea of technological advantages that today's hunter gathers have over the hunter gatherer's of the past? Do you think that today's hunter gatherers are using the same tools as the hunter gatherer's of 700,000 years ago? Do you also know that different time periods had different technology? Do you know that different geographical locations meant different diets. Hunter gatherers on the coast would have a different diet than hunter gatherers inland. Early humans in any area would have been versatile enough to utilize as many food resources as they possibly could. That would mean scavaging, hunting, and gathering. The point of contention between the two of us is the ease of hunting:
You think it's easy to catch prey with early human technology.
I think it's fucking hard to kill something with flint tools.
You should just give up your argument about cave man diets and just stick to what most people already agree on:
1. Do not eat processed foods
2. Meat is okay for you
