We (Hs) remarkaby have much more amylases than apes & even neandertals (Hn).

Google:
An amylase (/ˈæmɪleɪz/) is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch (Latin amylum) into sugars.
It is present in the saliva of humans & some other mammals, where it begins the chemical process of digestion.
Foods that contain large amounts of starch, but little sugar, such as rice & potatoes, may acquire a slightly sweet taste as they are chewed, because amylase degrades some of their starch into sugar.
The pancreas & salivary gland make amylase (alpha amylase) to hydrolyse dietary starch into di- & tri-saccharides, which are converted by other enzymes to glucose to supply the body with energy.
Plants & some bacteria also produce amylase.
Specific amylase proteins are designated by different Greek letters.
All amylases are glycoside hydrolases, and act on α-1,4-glycosidic bonds.

IOW, early Hs (c 200 ka?) shifted from shallow-diving (Hn & Hd) to wading, eating rice or potatoes:
rice (or related plants) of course (potatoes only later):
it grows in very shallow water.
This also helps explain e.g. why diabetes is so common in Hs?
And why we have less big brains than Hn?

Only incredible imbecils believe their ancestors ran after antelopes on the savanna.

Grain agriculture, mostly not wet paddy rice, mostly savanna-like fields.

I wouldn't touch the argument. See, paleo anthropology is the furthest thing from a
real science. If they have any so called "Modern" DNA going back far enough for comparison they're not talking. And molecular dating is pure bullshit. And we know
that Homo would have been under HEAVY selective pressure to extract what they could from common starch sources from the advent of agriculture... even proto agriculture. Without settlement or without stresses such as a lack of game, populations would not have found it necessary to adapt prior to the Holocene, or
so it appears. But given enough pressure, this would look vastly more ancient to
the so called "Molecular Clock."

NOTE: Humans haven't even adapted to the most popular variety of beans yet! They come from the Americas, so they're far too recent it appears. Humans not only had to arrive here first, but they had to abandon hunter-gathering for agriculture before there would even be a benefit...
