Hn N isotopes are *more carnivorous* than those of felids!
But this is impossible, of course: you can't be more carnivorous than cats!

You can if you eat cats. And wolves. And other carnivores.. including cannibalism.
You don't understand:
Hn N isotopes indicate 150% of their diet must have been meat!

Cats don't collect their isotopes via mail order. They get them from eating prey. And humans get them from their prey -- deer and such. ...
Are you really that stupid, my little boy??
150 % meat... :-DDD

They are NOT testing meat. They are NOT even testing for meat. They
are testing for isotopes, and these isotopes are acquired through their
diet. The assumption is if cats eat prey animals and humans eat prey
animals, then they should test roughly the same. But humans ate the
predators and not just the prey. Humans even ate each other.
"Cannibalism."
So if a cat eats 3 deer it has the isotopes from 3 deer. If a
human eats 2 deer and a car, it's getting the isotopes from FIVE
deer.
Yes, the test are going to show humans as more carnivores because
the humans are going to have more isotopes, and they're assuming that
more isotopes equates to more carnivorous.
But it doesn't.
It just means that humans ate prey animals AND predators.
But, again, they never tested meat or even tested for meat. They were
testing for isotopes.

H.neand. ear exostoses & pachyosteosclerosis leave 0 doubt: Hn frequently dived.
did they seasonally follow the river (Meuse, Rhine...) to the sea?
DNA comparisons suggest our ancestors evolved the enzymes to make poly-unsaturated fatty acids from short PUFAs c 80 ka:
IOW, before that time, they still got an essential part of their diet (e.g. brain size!) from aquatic foods
(perhaps that's why Hs has somewhat smaller brains than Hn?).
In any case, only incredible imbeciles believe their Pleistocene ancestors ran after antelopes. :-D
Jermy tries to inform MV. :~D
MV adheres to his orthodox holy paradigm, no matter how many facts you throw at him, they just bounce off his bald occiput.
Let him ride his seahorse and sleep in his clamshell and dream of chasing kudus.
