Meat is the driving force of evolution

Humans can become rational creatures by putting protein-containing foods into their diets.

Scientists explained that human ancestors began to use meat as food about 1.5 million years ago, meaning much earlier than current theories.

This conclusion is made by anthropologists at Colorado University (USA), after studying the remains of an ancient boy found in Olduvai cave in northern Tanzania. Based on the skull fragments scientists have identified a boy with anemia, caused by a lack of nutrition, especially a diet low in animal protein.

According to the published report, the boy's body was still growing normally until, for some reason, he had to stop receiving animal protein. Maybe he was not breastfed at that time. According to experts, this study proves that it is thanks to the presence of meat in the diet, in other words, thanks to the presence of protein with amino acids, people become more and more intelligent because of conditions for brain development.

Anthropologists believe that new inventions on the subject: "meat helps people to climb up the evolutionary ladder" does not have to wait any longer and their work is the first step. For example, experts are trying to find out what circumstances the ancient humanity used to make meat and how this affects the brain.

Before this discovery, it was thought that the ancients stopped eating vegetables and began eating meat at the end of the ice age. It seems that it is imperative to survive, because the food from plants (vegetables, fruits, tubers .) cannot be found anymore.

In addition, according to this theory, until that time, meat was never the main dish in the diet because it was much more difficult to obtain this food group, it was necessary to hunt while there were so many natural species available object.
