My guess is it's more likely that they were going for the omega-3 fatty
acids which are found at highest concentrations in organ meats, brain etc.
Other hunters such as lions do the same thing. As well, skeletal muscle may
be very lean and as such is avoided by hunter gatherers since the
processing of so much protein to provide glycogen imposes a heavy load on
the hunter gatherer's own liver.
