Default Meat diet


[Erratum: H.Erectus added]

Humans: energy intake is typical of a mammal of the same bodyweight.

Note that the % of total energy intake used by the brain is:

Homo sapiens : 20-25%
nonhuman primates: 8-10%
other mammals: 3-5%

est australopithecine: 11%
est homo erectus 17%

NB This may be of RESTING metabolism, not total energy (the article is
rather ambiguous).

This post is worth absolutely nothing and is probably fallacious.
Note: soon (maybe already) only posts via despammed.com will be accepted.
