On the early human's menu: Mammoth and plenty of raw vegetables
Early modern humans consumed more plants than Neanderthals but ate very little fish

Summary:
    Scientists have studied the diet of anatomically modern humans, and are able to refute the theory that the diet of early representatives of Homo sapiens was more flexible than that of Neanderthals. Just like the Neanderthals, our ancestors had mainly mammoth and plants on their plates. The researchers were unable to document fish as part of their diet. Therefore, the international team assumes that the displacement of the Neanderthals was the result of direct competition.

In Texas, the diet evidently included dinosaur meat.  :pondering:

Something tells me mammoth's were pretty delicious. We basically evolved to eat those suckers, too.

Respectable vikings ate lingonberries. And lutefisk. Washed down with a flagon of fine mead.

Meh. Migratory and seasonal. If they were eating mammoth, of course they weren't eating fish. Different seasonal migratory times.

The only thing that comes to mind when I read early humans and mammoth together.

One of the many kooky reasons once given for the supposed extinction of the Neandertal was that they ate too much meat and not any fish.

They come up with all sorts of impractical nonsense. Too many pocket protectors and not enough calluses.

Yes, and aren't they blaming Neanderthal genes for high cholesterol?

The biggest question for me is...who threw caution aside and tried the first bite?

We'll never know.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
