0:09:39 Introduction with Miki Ben-Dor
0:12:29 The evolution of the human trophic level during the Pleistocene
0:26:29 Humans are on a spectrum of omnivorous mammals
0:34:49 Evidence that we have evolved to become a specialized carnivore
0:40:29 Our specialization to absorb heme iron
0:42:29 Stomach acidity: more proof that we are meant to eat meat
0:46:24 In order to consume enough plant material, primates must spend a large portion of the day gathering and eating
0:49:29 The quality of a proper human diet takes a lot less time to eat and digest
0:52:49 Humans are "fat hunters"
1:00:29 Humans "shut down regions of the genome" to accomodate a high fat diet (presumably animal fats) while chimpaneezes open regiojs of the genome to accomodate a higher sugar diet
1:05:34 The human shoulder joint is perfectly designed to throw
1:09:09 The counter argument: we have genetic adaptations to consume starch and sugar
1:16:09 Was the majority of the decline in megafauna was due to the human hunting of these animals?
1:20:39 We can get plenty of quality omega-3's from eating large, fatty, ruminant animals
1:26:39 There is a hiearchy for human food sources; meat is on top, followed by fish, and then plant sources are at the bottom
1:35:29 "Carnivore" essentially means that us humans were eating animal-focused throughout our evolution, but not only animals - The evolution of the human trophic level during the Pleistocene
1:39:39 The plants you will find in the supermarket today is not at all what our ancestors would have eaten, but the meat is generally the same
1:41:29 Our brains have been shrinking over the last few thousand years
1:48:39 Closing thoughts with Miki: what can we take away from all of this information?
