Vegan (alt.food.vegan) This newsgroup exists to share ideas and issues of concern among vegans. We are always happy to share our recipes- perhaps especially with omnivores who are simply curious- or even better, accomodating a vegan guest for a meal!

Default Neanderthal diets - Plants and cooked foods - PNAS



They like most homo groups ate whatever they could get their hands on.
It should not be a surprise this includes these items. This is evidence
now beginning to appear. It has been clear for much longerof the
hunting and consumption of animal products. Now the picture becomes
more complete as could be predicted.

So there was no genetically increased selective pressure for a
particular new type of food after leaving the ecological niche and
there was no genetic deselection for those foods eaten before the
digestive system was established in the ecological niche of human
ancestors.

I don't know what the concern is here. It is well-known that cooking
degrades the digestive system, destroys most nutrients and produces
synthetic carcinogens. And despite the fact that ancestors resorted to
meat consumption when food wasn't available, meat intake still
contributes to virtually every disease.

I note that you have mentioned "ancestors".
I think that is accurate for European Neanderthals (natives of Neander
Valley, Germany).

However, the 'assumption (/conflict of interest)' that Neanderthals
are extinct now may be open to question. They could'nt have magically
disappeared (does not jive with what you see all around either).
