I was killing time before art class and found this fun article about our diets back in the day. Just thought I'd share.

Therefore, the emerging picture of the European Neanderthal diet indicates that although physiologically they were presumably omnivores, they behaved as carnivores, with animal protein being the main source of dietary protein. This finding is in agreement with the indirect archeological evidence and strongly points to the Neanderthals having been active predators.

Forkin' right!


A pretty good read! A bit long and sometimes quite technical, but the conclusion is all you need.

I know, right!

I was really excited to see this article since it came from an actual legitimate academic site.
