Guest guest Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 Hi Mark, I thought latest understanding of the neanderthal and prior humans were actually taller and bigger than we are now. I thought, too, that I read somewhere that their diet was mostly fruits, nuts, seeds... I can't remember exactly where I read this - a few place - but I'm sure one of them was on the discovery channel... Now I want to look into this again. Great conversation guys! Thanks for your thoughts! Linda Message: 7 Thu, 03 Jun 2004 15:20:43 -0400 blakenson Re: basic question Nice thought provoking question. Some other things that also increased was our size (muscle mass at least in appearance). This period of meat cunsumption is also used in th Eat right for your blood type. What's missing is the mention of the rapid decrese in lifespan. My personal believe is that some of the increase may be due the the increase in meat consumption,although just like high protien bodybuilding the muscle or tissue efficiency is greatly reduced. That is to say the energy or stregnth or intelligence the is produced is less efficient per increase in size. As an example; Let's say a monkey or ape, anywhere from 100-300lbs on a raw mostly vegan diet. If you took a human of the same size on a high protien meat diet the difference in stregnth is enormous. Also looking at what we eat and what we are creating as a society, it does'nt appear as though we are evolving from our meat consumption. Also mucus which is present in our organs when consuming acid diets (meat) also adds to the weight and size although not in a beneficial way.
