Not bad with garlic and salty butter. But here's what's interesting...

"Hundreds of burnt snail shells were found near fireplaces along with tools and other animal remains in rock shelters along a cliff in Spain.''

Were they burnt in cooking? Or merely because somebody figured out it was easier to get them of out their shells by heating. Which coincidently probably cooked them as well.

You eat what you have.

The "Paleo diet" worked for prehistoric Man because he had no choice, but we aren't them.

true..true and their digestive tracks would have allowed them to eat them raw in all probability..perhaps even the shell. after all what the hell good was that appendix good for originally other than supposedly repopulating good bacteria.


don't know if 'red tide' was around or not. so that was or was not a threat.

but the image of a couple of 'good ole' boys sitting on the Atlantic seashore. swilling whatever and cracking shells, slobbering down snails, and probably scratching fleas off their nether regions. while waiting for technology to produce a tv.


so they could watch the world cup...suddenly springs to mind.

Amen

The image of them trying to stay alive until nightfall, day after day after day, is more likely.

tsk tsk tis because your imagination is rooted in the anthropological, medical and the scientific method...old one. mine, whether due to excessive tiswin or not, while there, is also in the romantic.

That's merely your opinion, not a validated fact, and you know the military rule about opinions.

If there were such a thing as a time machine, you would find little romance or philosophy in the prehistoric survival-oriented groups.

Their goals would be surviving day-to-day and reproducing to keep the species alive.  They had no energy or thought for anything else, and no food to spare for idle occupations.

Your maudlin wanderings are the result of a lifetime lived in a standard of luxury and ease far beyond the wildest and most feverish dreams of paleolithic peoples.  You have already out-lived the oldest paleo-humans by a wide margin, simply because of the advantages of your advanced lifestyle.  If you were back in the Paleolithic, mindlessly fantasizing about the rocks and trees, you would be dead by thirty at the latest, and that would be OLD by the standards of that time.  No drugs or tiswin, either.  Ermm

As for the age remarks you constantly make, I'll outlive you.

''As for the age remarks you constantly make, I'll outlive you.''

Perhaps.

There's no rush.

I wish you many more years up there in your mountains..watching the pass.

But when ya go...go with a smile. And think as kindly of as many as ya can.
