Neanderthal men: frustrated in love

[ckissick]

It seems Neanderthal men had unusually high levels of hormones (testosterone) coursing through their veins. This gave them very large arms, but it was always just the right arm. The women were very ugly. They say the large right arm was caused by frequent hunting. But I have another theory. My theory would also explain why the species died out.

the article points to an all-meat diet, but wouldn't the Inuit then show similar physical attributes?

A high protein (meat) diet is even more critical to brain development over eons, than even muscle development.

Their diet then consisted "nearly exclusively of proteins and lipids," which must have affected their hormones and bones.

I ate a vegetarian for two years 10-12 years ago, the few times I did eat meat I could feel an aggression build in me.

I also worked with a guy who claimed he rarely ate vegetables and ate meat at every meal. He was one of the most unnecessarily aggressive people I've ever known, people would laugh at him he was so absurd.

I always though meat did something to change behavior. Thanks for posting the article, now I have supporting proof.

Inuit of 100 years ago ate a lot of blubber with their meat. Little vegtables because the growing season is so short.

Modern Inuit eat a lot of KFC style chicken and soda pop. Hense they have more of a Bluto shaped body shape now.
