That's a good article, and the author makes some of the same points I've been making for a while now. Basically, I would add that there is no reason to just look at the molecular-level evidence, since there is so much of it now., rather than speculating about what "cave men" did. It's gotten so silly that I think of the Geico insurance company TV commercials, where the narrator says, "so easy a cave man can do it." The same is true of speculative historical diets - anyone can do it. My guess is that early humans ate a lot of palm/coconut, certain fruit, and shellfish, since these would have been easy to obtain in large amounts. |
