New research

Moubtahij, Z., McCormack, J., Bourgon, N. et al. (2024). "Isotopic evidence of high reliance on plant food among Later Stone Age hunter-gatherers at Taforalt, Morocco". Nat Ecol Evol 8: 1035–1045.

"Our results unequivocally demonstrate a substantial plant-based component in the diets of these hunter-gatherers. This distinct dietary pattern challenges the prevailing notion of high reliance on animal proteins among pre-agricultural human groups. It also raises intriguing questions surrounding the absence of agricultural development in North Africa during the early Holocene. This study underscores the importance of investigating dietary practices during the transition to agriculture and provides insights into the complexities of human subsistence strategies across different regions."

Reads like vegan propaganda

This entire article reads like vegan motivated reasoning. Just about every single mention of human meat eating is caveated with "but we also ate other stuff". References with ridiculous titles relating meat-eating to oppression of the poor, climate crisis, etc further emphasize that this is little more than propaganda. 108.5.183.191 (talk) 14:45, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I removed one problematic source. If you can point to more, that would help. Viriditas (talk) 16:55, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
