Awww, baloney.

I’m sure it was betel nut and tofu; that’s what killed ‘em.

Humans are omnivores: meat and plants. It’s how it is in nature. Anyone who claims that we shouldn’t eat meat is against nature.

“Paleolithic modern humans, who arrived in France shortly after the Neandertals had disappeared, exhibit even higher nitrogen isotope ratios than Neandertals.”

Apparently Modern Hominids were better cannibals... lol

Great article, Thanks!

I just know I am significantly more Neanderthal than Warren is Native American.

a debate exists whether or not Neandertals were eating aquatic resources

I don't see why. A fish is a lot easier to catch than a mammoth.

***Compound-specific isotope analyses (CSIA) allow to separately analyze the amino acids contained in the collagen.***

Wasn’t something like this used to prove American Indians in the South West were cannibals? I know some of the tribes really got upset over it.

They came up wit the story the cannibals were a raiding party of Aztecs.

I’m pretty sure Neanderthals and Humans were on seafood diets... When they seen anything that looked like it may be food, they ate it. And then they ate each other if there wasn’t anything else to be seen.

Main food source was definitely meat: Pulled pork, brisket, bbq ribs and smoked turkey.
