Eating Meat is what made us Humans

[jh1]

Caught some show on Discovery and it had a bunch of scientists and anthropologists on there...

I only caught 10 minutes of it, but they were all in agreement - our brains grew to the size they are today because of the protein our ancestors integrated into our diet.

Every predecesor / branch off that had small brains all had vegan diets. Those, like the neanderthol and the humans, that had large brains came from lines that incorporated meat into their diets.

Not really a suprise.

Catching 10 min of a show on the Discovery channel pretty much makes you an expert on the subject.

Maybe you should write a book.

Maybe you and JH should tour the country giving presentations on the subject.

This could well have been where Hitler failed, adopting a vegan diet.


Also, the key to disease research and cures lie in proteins; hence the Folding @ Home project.

It wasn't just eating meat but after humans figured out how to make fire to cook the meat it made it much more digestable.....They got several times the nutrition from it.

WTF? Did it not mention the supposed connection between eating a ton of fish and larger brains?
