"It is becoming clearer that this was far from the case. One recent study actually suggests that Neanderthals lost fewer teeth than humans with equivalent diets."
Is there even such a thing as an equivalent diet? There are potentially harmful substances in just about everything these days, including foods that claim to be natural and free of any growth-inducing chemicals. And we don't even know what kind of effects most of these have on human body.

- Mikeb85 10y agoWell Neanderthals did coexist with humans for a (relatively) brief period, so I'm guessing they mean Neanderthals and Humans that ate a similar diet in the same general time period.
- davegardner 10y agoI assumed they were referring to the diets of those humans that were alive at the same time as the Neanderthals.
