New study calls into question the importance of meat eating in shaping
our evolution.

"Quintessential human traits such as large brains first appear in Homo
erectus nearly 2 million years ago. This evolutionary transition
towards human-like traits is often linked to a major dietary shift
involving greater meat consumption. A new study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, however, calls into
question the primacy of meat eating in early human evolution. While
the archaeological evidence for meat eating increases dramatically
after the appearance of Homo erectus, the study authors argue that
this increase can largely be explained by greater research attention
on this time period, effectively skewing the evidence in favor of the
"meat made us human" hypothesis."

Yes, not only new studies: *all* studies,
e.g. C & N isotopes indicate freshwater-marine foods:

-- MP Richards 2007 pp.223-234 in W Roebroeks ed. "Guts and Brains" Leiden NL fig.1 & 2
"Diet shift at the Middle/Upper Palaetolithic transition in Europe? the stable isotope evidence"

-- C Wissing cs 2016 Quat.Internat.411:327-345
"Isotopic evidence for dietary ecology of late Neandertals in NW-Europe"

--etc.etc.

The meat-eating fantasy is ridiculous just-so nonsense.
Only incredible imbeciles believe their ancestors ran after antelopes.

The study doesn't say our ancestors didn't consume ungulate tissue,
(may have been as early as 3.39 mya, see: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/283496176)

it says that there is "no sustained increase in the relative amount of
evidence for carnivory after the appearance of H. erectus".

Relative amount of carnivory is different from no carnivory at all.

They say C & N isotopes show humans are supercarnivores.
The imbeciles: who can you be more carnivorous that felids??
Why didn't they compare to aquatic foods??
C & N isotopes were simply perfectly intermediate between fresh & salt water foods.

It's incredibly unscientific wishful thinking.
C & N isotopes show they ate aquatic foods.

WORSE! Much worse: It's seafood that was the major shaper of our
evolution. China alone is driving whole fish species extinct.

Overfishing was already a problem decades ago.

It's gotten significantly worse.

Science is dead. It's all propaganda. All of it. They have entire
generations crapping in their pants over the thought of it growing
slightly warmer during an ice age. 2021 was a record hot year for
the oceans, according to the propaganda oops I meant "Science"
as "Reported" by the media, yet it was a La Nina year -- COLDER
THAN NORMAL OCEAN TEMPERATURES!

The 1% have deemed meat too good for "The Bottom" 80 to 90+
percent of the people. Now they're just inventing "Science" to
justify taking it away from you.

Skipping the Jerm's gibberish...

Pygmies slit the stems of large broad-leaves and clothespin them to the wicker frame of their dome huts. Ancient Homo did the same with their domeshield, and used the same slit & pin method to hang and cure ultra-thin meat slices at streamside (sunnier
there than under the forest canopy) before fire was domesticated. Killing a boar or sow required a strong sharp spear, the hunters stood behind shields next to trees, if charged they climbed 2' up the tree, safe since the boar couldn't raise it's head,
unlike a bull or stag. (Russians do this, they cling to tree trunks just above the ground, no need to climb higher.)
