Ideas On Evolution Of Human Diet Challenged

More pitfalls in postdicting the past.

"Tiny marks on the teeth of an ancient human ancestor known as the "Nutcracker Man" may upset current evolutionary understanding of early hominid diet.

Using high-powered microscopes, researchers looked at rough geometric shapes on the teeth of several Nutcracker Man specimens and determined that their structure alone was not enough to predict diet.

Peter Ungar, professor of anthropology at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, contends the finding shows evolutionary adaptation for eating may have been based on scarcity rather than on an animal's regular diet."

This new and improved history of the human species is a good example of just how little we know.

Much like today's nutrition and what is "healthy" to eat.

Remember, there is only healthy eating and there are no known "healthy" foods.
