Such statements ignore the fact that science (tack the prefix "paleo-" onto
the branch of science of your choice--e.g., paleoanthropology, paleobotany,
paleoontology, etc.) is responsible for our growing understanding of the
diet and way of life of our Paleolithic ancestors. To ignore or shun science
is to be willingly ignorant of valuable, verifiable (in many, if not all,
cases) information.
