A good companion article for this one is The benefits of food processing: Processing food before eating likely played key role in human evolution.

The posted article give a summary of living habitat for:

"The two species of hominins, or early humans, are Paranthropus boisei -- robust and pretty small-brained -- and Homo habilis, a lighter-boned species. Homo habilis had a bigger brain and was more in sync with our human evolutionary tree, according to Ashley."

But "it was tough living," she said. "It was a very stressful life because they were in continual competition with carnivores for their food."

Cell coverage was pretty bad too.

And it remained a horrible life where you had a good chance of starving to death or living a subsistence life for most of human history until one thing happened — Capitalism. Now most people under a Capitalist system can eat and eat well.

It was a rough life for sure.

On the plus side, they didn't have to worry about anthropologists showing up.

Life in commie paradise.
Then, eating vegetables, remained stupid and became liberals.
Those who went hunting and eating meat became republicans.

First, I’ll admit that in true FR fashion I didn’t click through and read the entire article, but...

My reading of this excerpt is that scientists have created a replica which is based on guesses and which is in no way verifiable, and now they are going to extrapolate from their guesses and use this “re-creation” to “learn” more about the culture of these early humans? I need to get a job like this... one where I can make up any old story and have it taken as truth. Wait! That’s American politics, isn’t it?!!

Wait! What?

I thought it was a garden and we had dominion over all the animals?

Now I am really confused.

Whole article is unadulterated BS.

They made a discovery recently in China that kills the evolution from apes theory anyways.

Besides that, we were created in God’s image.
