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.

Evidence is needed to support that sweeping statement. Please quote  
whatever applies to paleoman.
