"For this specific time period, in this specific location" is the qualifier that should always be used for these type of things. Humans ate ... whatever was available, and that varied quite a bit. And it's not The Guardian misrepresenting the authors with a sensationalist title here, the authors of this study themselves are extrapolating a small and limited study to all early humans. This is complete nonsense, as anyone with the most basic of understanding of the matter will tell you. The hand-waving away of all earlier research with FUD about "male archaeologists from western cultures" is exactly that: anti-intellectual FUD. Hell, if there's any field that is dominated by lefty vegetarian hippie types then it's archaeology (not a complaint, just an observation). In general there's a lot of nonsense peddling surrounding this in vegan circles. I say this as a vegan. People go on about "primal humans being vegan, so that's the natural state" or some such and then you ask about it and they come back with some early human from 4 million years ago. yeah ... that's like a different species mate. The unwarranted anti-intellectual statements make me not trust any of this research. This seems like the sort of "researcher" who will do their damnest to find evidence for their conclusion, no matter what.
