  • Tracing the evolution of the human diet from our earliest ancestors can lead to a better understanding of human adaptation in the past. It may also offer clues to the origin of many health problems we currently face, such as obesity and chronic disease. This fascinating series of talks focuses on the changing diets of our ancestors and what role these dietary transitions played in the evolution of humans. Here Steven Leigh (Univ of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) discusses Diets and Microbes in Primates, followed by Peter Ungar (Univ of Arkansas) on Australopith Diets, and Alison S. Brooks (George Washington Univ) and Margaret J. Schoeninger (UC San Diego) on Neanderthal Diets. [2/2013] [Show ID: 23436]

      @@carolined5923 Don't think, try it. Only after going carnivore I learned how having healthy bowels feels like. My poops are always solid and don't smell. Often there's no need to wipe after pooping (ghost wipes). I barely ever fart and when I do it doesn't smell. Everything works as nature intended because I eat what the last 4.5 million years of evolution designed our bodies to eat.
      We're not gorillas, we barely get any nutrition from fiber at all. And anything we do get we can get from other sources. There's not need to introduce non-digestible, irritating and inflammatory fiber into our guts.

    Cooking withOUT pots nor clay: EASY !
    1) Skulls of large animals or large hollow femur bones.
    2) *more likely* 😁 simple weaving & woven baskets: where hot rocks from a fire are placed in the woven cooking basket ! 🔥 10 rocks is about a 5 to 8 minute boil. Rocks & boiling water do not damage basket.

      The Native Americans of the US used the stomachs of the deer that they killed and hooked it on a wooden tripod. Filled with water, hot stones were placed into it to bring the water to a boil and cook meat and vegetables into stews. The stomach would be good for several cooking and when it began to leak it was replaced and the old one was probably fed to their dogs.

    So our ability to turn fibre into SCFA's has significantly reduced compared to other primates, yet it's somehow extremely important. Ketones fulfil this role in the gut themselves. Fibre is still not an essential nutrient.

    Caribou weigh from 180 to 400 lbs, depending upon whether male or female. That's 80 to 180 kg, NOT 80 kg always. How does a scientist get that wrong? That's a potential error of 125%. Great new data about plant consumption.

      @chriscapablanca3491 Před 3 lety +2

      Correct and when you over-hunt you then do not eat what you want but you eat what you can. Also assuming Neanderthal would have suffered from rabbit starvation, we shouldn't assume they were stupid, they did exist for a touch longer than 100 years and they knew to eat fat along with meat. 53:50, data "Bother me" , a researchers opinion has zero value and zero relevance. The assumption that you needed to eat every day is an assumption and most likely very incorrect.
      Easily get those calories , 10's of thousands of calories from foraging and grains? Are you serious? Try it. Go out and try without modern tech to acquire that many calories from those food sources, in all seasons.

    Humans are capable of surviving on meat alone and perfectly well adapted to a carnivore diet, especially so when there was plenty of fatty mega fauna around.
    I’ve no doubt they ate fruits and vegetables as well but that seems an unreliable and inadequate source of nutrition before the advent of agriculture, especially for a highly physical lifestyle and likely made up less than %10 of total diet in my estimation.
    Any that were relying heavily on vegetation as a food were most likely in a dire situation.

    • @aquamarine99911
      @aquamarine99911 Před 5 lety +1

      But the point was made that fatty fauna were not available for much of the year. A diet exclusively of lean meats would have been a recipe for starvation. I personally prefer a paleo diet, which for me includes plenty of fruit and vegetables for carbohydrate and fiber. But I'm also starting to experiment with some legumes and even grains, it's becoming clear that these were on the original paleo diet.

      Depends on the nutrients you are receiving from the meat.
      edit: Depending on how WELL you will survive, that is, because hell... humans can SURVIVE on almost anything - but the idea of having a nutritious diet isn't the benefit of merely surviving, it's about the quality of life you have while you're "surviving." Most humans lived in scarcity during at least some months out of the year up until the year 1980. That's right, 1980! and that's right.. MOST! The "green revolution" achieved through the cross breeding of a disease resistant, high yield version of wheat is responsible for lifting billions out of food scarcity. So don't just sit here and pretend that our ancestors weren't routinely suffering through food shortages - because they most certainly were, 99.999% of them!
