Given that an oyster can be defeated with a relatively small rock, we could have been eating them for a very long time...

OK CJ this was folk lore not science.

On the other hand I was thinking the other day how our long ago ancestors used to have to cooperate on a hunt. The guy that actually got the kill would share the food with the entire tribe... or the tribe wouldn't survive for the next hunt. Early taxes.

How did the Republicans survive evolution?

"Whatever.... he had to be damn hungry or damn stupid."

"Damn hungry" pretty much describes our early evolution. There at least was some speculation that we spent at least part of our early evolution along a seashore. That could account for the reduced body hair, subcutaneous fat, the fact that what body hair we do have is aligned in a pattern that promotes smooth water flow, etc. Given that an oyster can be defeated with a relatively small rock, we could have been eating them for a very long time...


I think I am part of the group that was designed to bring people inland. I can't stand any kind of seafood.
