Now, somebody tries to say that there is no way that the primate that has
very dexterous hands, that is per excellentiam meat eater, actually only
started to explore those resources 125kya.

Oops. I wanted to say that somebody is implying that there is no way
that humans could eat marine meat much before 125kya. I mean, what is
this?

Not bright enough to use attribution marks? Any fool can make up what
someone else didn't say and make a strawman case. What early Homo was
eating the MOST of is demonstrated by
1. the hard on the ground evidence, cut marks on savanna bones.

Liar: cutmarks on riverbank bones, probably drowned & trampled trekking
bovids.

Liar. You prove it everytime you refuse to cite a source for this, you
are making it up.

Says the kudu runner... :-D

"ostrich-egg shell fragments are more closely associated with the
lithic artifacts"
H. Roche et al. Nature Vol 399:59

"Stage III is found in an adjcent quarry--called S.T.I.C.--and is in a
primary context. the artifacts occur with vertebrate fauna in a
limestone layer overlying the regressive Maarifian beach gravel. The
activity area is associated with a freshwater stream that drained onto
the beach nearby. The faunal remains all come from large terrestrial
mammals and there is no indication, at this or any other site in
Morocco, that marine fauna was made use of."
