Interesting.

In another thread myself, Paul, and Val are
discussing the supposition that large,
size-scalable, hominid communities may have emerged
in the earliest years of hominid evolution. One of
the objections, raised by Val, involved resource
shortages and the problems this would entail for a
large group (especially during the monsoon dry
season, I might add). It would seem that the
emergence of hominid omvivority might be part of
the solution. And I think this evidence indicate
such.
