Quote:Sal.......You do know that recorded human history, compared to the appearance of the first hominids is like a blink of an eye, right?
Oldest recorded history is probably the ancient Sumerians or proto-Chinese civilizations.
Humans have been here for at least a million of years.
Not just homo sapiens but the previous ancestors as well so it is in all this time that humans evolve their constitution to what we have now or better say.....similar to what we have now..
This is mainly physically. Spiritually is a different story.
So this evolution go well behind our recorded history because in only few thousand of years big changes would not be possible.
Quote:This is besides the point, if you mean when we moved from hunter-gatherer to agriculture, this happened around ~40,000 years ago although that is disputed (might be older, depends on what available data there is, really). People think after we moved to agriculture, we selectively breed animals(chickens, cows, pigs, cats, dogs, etc.) and crops (wheat, malt, pears, apples, etc.) that we found to be beneficial to ourselves, that is something which we know pretty damn well, it's just when it really began that's a bit disputed.
When you say.........we moved from hunter-gatherer to agriculture.......this is not really correct.
Before the advent of agriculture people still had available grains that grow wild, fruits, vegetable, nuts, legumes etc. so they really did not need to wait for the time in which they started agriculture.
In other words, they never moved from this to this.
You always had people who eat some meat but meat was never their main diet except in very cold places where a vegetarian diet was an impossibility.
Quote:That little conjecture about acids and teeth and whatnot I find laughable, because brown/black bears (to mention two species) eat meat and they don't have such acidic stomachs or remarkably gritting teeth, except for the canine teeth that you also find in humans, because most of them are omnivores, like us. I suspect you found your little story about the acids from some creationist bullshit website, which, ironically enough try to explain away the Eden story that all animals in the Eden parable (which they take literally) all ate grass or some stupid shit.
If is true that we are omnivores then why all our hospitals are full up with people with diseases related to vascular diseases.
Arteries choked up with saturated fats, cholesterol and toxins?
All this shit come from a non vegetarian diet.
Please explain.
