That's only because all the archaeologic evidence is preserved in bones and tools. All if not most of the plant based evidence has been reclaimed by nature. There are some new discoveries surrounding preserved pollens that are showing how early hominids had plants in their camps.
> We have such remarkable discoveries as a building made entirely of mammoth skulls.
That's because all the wooden based structures didn't survive. We should quit calling it the Stone Age and call it the Wood Age, because their stone tools were used to build wooden structures (along with butchering critters).
- samatman 4y agoThank you for confirming that "realize that our Paleolithic friends ate mostly plants" is not something we know, that we only have evidence that they ate a lot of meat, and that you knew this to be the case, so I have to ask: why did you state something you know to be untrue?
- zikduruqe 4y agoI never said Grok was vegan. Maybe I should have worded it better... "realize that our Paleolithic friends ate more plants than we were lead to believe"
- majkinetor 4y agoYou can also see proof in the form of bone content - it also shows that paleolithic people ate a lot of meat and that no single vegan has been found so far...
