<I stumbled into this weirdness by pure luck, Are people serious about
attempting to eat like Neanderthalensis and/or Cro-Magnon? What about the
very basic hominids like H. erectus or even earlier known specimens such as
"Lucy"?

As a semi-serious junior in my 11th year of undergraduate studies.  I have
to ask if you ever pondered/considered the benefits of simply eating organic
foods,fruits & nuts,lots of grains, lots of vegetables and using the least
saturated cooking oils possible?   Supplemented with lots of bulk fiber and
a high-density protein food.   Please don't take this as a flame, and no
jokes please I'm very interested in your postings.

Yes lot of benefits can be expected with your recomendations except for the
grains . MAny peoples on that list,  like me  have been long term followers
of your plan and had to reconsider the grain thing . Informe yourself and
see the correlation between grain eating and degeneration , either by
folowing your diet for enough long time to experience the damage or by
learning from the experience of others who have done it.

The omega acids you constantly mention are only good for the Eskimo & Inuit
fringe members of moribund "primitive cultures", who spent there entire
genetic development in isolation based on a very narrow food chain of fish
and whale blubber.  Certain Native American Indian populations that evolved
on Maze have shown abysmal rates of Obesity & Diabetes due to the rapid loss
of high-density protiens of their hunter-gather culture and the
change/influx of fats in their daily diets.

Exactely they didn't have access anymore to a balanced ratio of omega 3 to
omega 6 present in the fat of wild animals. the increase of vegetal fats or
domesticated animal fats lead to a problematic ratio.

Medical Research in animals (mostly mammals, and on going R&D by pet food
company's, since the early 1930's) shows that a High nutrient & mineral &
vitamin diet of reduced calories, can actually increase the life span of the
studied subject organisms., infact some astonishing results with double
blind tested lab rodents, indicate that the life spans of the well fed
animals had regular life spans of approximately  18 months to 24 months. The
well nourished yet "calorie restricted" animals all had extremely extended
life spans. (up to about 36 months). This would roughly equal adding a third
trimester to the average human life span.
jc
considering the unatural diet of laboratory animals ,  less of crappy foods
can makes you feel better  and live longer . We have yet to be able to
compare the health status of the wild animals on their original diet with
their brothers in cage .
