I love this quote: If man evolved from monkeys how come there are still monkeys{/b] :lol: :lol:
I eat meat for fun anyway

Speak for yourself...
I didnt see any valid theory in that potato article, sad how they always leave stuff out in the news.
I went through and had a look at the number of new PhDs from a group of students I am familar with. Of the 6, 4 were vegetarians. So this post is not about fact, its about who people chose to discriminate against.. shame shame shame. does that mean that the vegetarians (of which I cannot say I am one) should put up a poll asking if all meat eaters were red neck fascists? fools.
.
The main thing i dont get is why a simply energy that requies virtually no brain power to find would drive us to evolve to be smarter. Seems far more logical that a far more nutritous meat meal, that requires far more thinking to aquire would drive this evolution.
It also seems stupid to suggest ppl where running around on the gound to get starchy foods while walking past a far more tasty animal meal.
Without eating meat we simply wouldnt be here today, as pointed out right at the begining of the thread.
I've thought about this a bit and was wondering what other people think. I've noticed a few digs at vegetarians in some of the threads - my question is this:
Do you think if the human species were vegetarians, would they have evolved to be:
1. Equally intelligent
2. Of lesser intelligence
3. Of greater intelligence
Interested in your thoughts.
The drive to hunt animals and gather food lead to tool use etc etc. All the 'lower' mammals (intelligence-wise) are herbivores.
