Hmm seeing some miss info about early hominids specifically early Homo sapiens being spread around by people who seem to be using modern humans as there reasoning why certain things about the hunting dinamics of human species that predate Homo sapiens and vice versa couldnt be true seemingly implying that hunting and foraging patterns couldn’t have changed over the multiple hundreds of thousands of years that evolution has taken place during and I don’t want to draw attention to my self because like the post has so few notes and it’s a couple years old but it’s blatantly wrong and drawing incorrect conclusions using a couple nature articles as their sources and the whole thing seems to be written by someone who if they do have a science background it’s clearly not in paleo anthropology and while I do have a degree in bio anthropology and archaeology I do not feel like wasting my time arguing on the internet about it
Edit: Oh I read through the notes and somebody a year ago read them for filth with actual scientific arguments and sources good! That post also called out the lowkey racism I didn’t quite realize I was picking up from the original post
Wish that version and not the version with the funny joke at the end was the one getting passed around
