I read somewhere that early hominids evolved as scavengers . Especially the marrow, and brain of carsasses , were not exploited by other species. Hominids could crush even the thickest bones with the blow of a big stone , thus getting to the marrow. Such a very fat diet would surely not lead to "rabbit starvation" and could be supplemented with other sources of lean meat. BTW when I make beef-soup, I enjoy the marrow of the marrow bones - I havent tried raw marrow though :-). Esben
