Human ancestors like Australopithecus – which lived around 3.5 million years ago in southern Africa – ate very little to no meat, according to new research published in the scientific journal Science. This conclusion comes from an analysis of nitrogen isotope isotopes in the fossilized tooth enamel of seven Australopithecus individuals. The data revealed that these early hominins primarily relied on plant-based diets, with little to no evidence of meat consumption.

    It is very clear you and your best friend HylicManoeuvre are one and the same person, but like a great many things you are unable to see how obvious that is. I realise now it was not fair of me to engage in discussion with someone of your calibre so I will say nothing more.

      Ad hominem, last refuge of the troll.

      I dunno, I think our comment histories are pretty distinct, in both our views/preferences and the topics we’re comfortable discussing. I think that’s pretty clear for anyone who just wants to take a look. Again, by insisting that we must be alts for the same person with a secret vegan agenda comes off as paranoid and delusional.

      It’s also very clear that you’ve let half a dozen upvotes go to your head and are now just flinging insults at anyone who engages your dull views. If you had any point to make you’ve done nothing but undermine it.
