One in the eye for those "people were never supposed to eat meat" vegans .....

And while I'm about it - suck on that, PETA

The article suggests PASSIVE HUNTING, waiting in trees for animals to pass close by and then spear them. I doubt that. Probably more likely was that they ran their prey down on open plains. The reason why we are the "hairless apes" with sweat glands, and a buttock and leg structure designed for long distance running.

I've read a version of this report before and it strongly suggests that our brains didn't evolve much until we started eating meat. So it proves why vegans are mentally deficient compared to us omnivores

Fellas:
Note the photo of the hunter and his spears and arrows? The next step in the process of evolution (and also seen by anthropologists when finding blow pipes) was to fasten two together and make a double.
Cheers,
Cal

Interesting article. Thanks for posting.

Being at the top of the food chain has always had its benefits, and these days also its responsibilities.
