My newspaper today had an article about scientific
research on three 2000 year old human fecals from Texas.
With help of DNA analysis they found out what these
three individuals had eaten. It was a kind of antelopes and
a kind of big horned sheep, squirrel, rat, and a bony fish.
Veggies was: agave, yucca, peas of different kinds,
cactuses, sunflower seeds, acorns, nettle-tree berries
and physalis berries. This was in the Chihuahua desert,
in Hind Cave where people lived for 10000 years.
The original article is in the latest issue of PNAS.
