Maybe I'm just in ketosis and looking for trouble, I dunno but seeing as how
we were all reminded that exercise posts were not related to a support list
dedicated to Paleo eating. How is the below considered support or on topic?
This is really just mental masturbation and not very helpful to anyone
interested in eating a Paleo diet. I can't go to the store with this info.
And benefit from it, I can't tell someone this info. And consider it advice
or support. Why is it here? Isn't there a more scientific list for this type
of, IMO, useless information?

[SNIP]

Woody plants disappeared (beside lower temperatures) because of extreme
dryness in winters.
The bioprodictiviy, estimated to have been similar to today(4-5 big animals
per 100 ha) then was reduced to about 10 percent of before.  This explains,
why (at least in europe) so few remainders were found from glacials, and so
much more artefacts from thermals and onset stages.
Ice age - last about 2 mio years- is made up for half or a little less from
thermals (with climate like today) and the rest from glacials.

Very happy. And what did they drink? If in Ketosis?

And exactely where and when did this inuit-like pleistocene *climate*
happen? Whould you mind defining *where* Steppe/thundra (with grass only and
so much big animals)
happened to be? Let say in the year 30000bc
or65000 bc or from 80000bc to 1
30000bc? Or when else.

And when it was in Africa in a glacial, wasn't it so, than less *dry* more
favourable landscapes with woods and exploitable plants were reachable
within a few 100 miles?
I can't see that this megafauna-steppe picture you use to portray lasted for
a longer time and at large areas.
If you have differrent informations, then please offer them here exactely.
