Did Vegan Primitivist read beyond the abstract of the Nature article they cited about Neanderthals and DNA? It seems like they have not read past the abstract (1st link they cited). I'm not sure if Vegan Primitivist is aware that humans and neanderthals aren't the same species. It seems like they're unaware of that because they appear to be using humans and neanderthals as if they're interchangeable.

Vegan Primitivist claims the Nature article proves that some pre-civ humans subsisted entirely on plants, but the article says no such thing. The article makes it clear that, pre-civ & after humans, consumed meat to varying degrees. It's not that hard to miss. The article says further that the 5 El Sidrón Cave neanderthals they studied weren't only consuming plant based food, but also consumed meat, albeit in a limited capacity. Anyways, coming to a conclusion that some pre-civ humans only consuming plants based off a study of 5 neanderthals is idiotic.

Why even cite stuff if you're not gonna read the very thing you're citing? Is it one of these things where you cite a bunch of shit to make it appear you're more knowledgeable about something than you?
