Sussman uses a different definition of the word "human" than I.->
"Since the process of human evolution is so long and varied, Sussman and
Hart decided to focus their research on one specific species,
Australopithecus afarensis, which lived between 5 million and 2.5 million
years ago and is one of the better-known early human species."
"These early humans simply couldn't eat meat. If they couldn't eat meat,
why would they hunt?"
They were ape-men. Not even all of the race of man qualifies as human, for
example the peak of neolithic devolution: G.W. Bush.
