Thanks, Kat.
I don't know on what thread is your notice.
But, I presaume that freshwater molluscs were eaten salty. For this
you need to have the salt industry and trade, I presume.

Mario, there is no basis for either of these presumptions. There is no
reason whatsoever to suppose that early humans would turn their noses
up at freshwater molluscs, any more than modern humans would.

You didn't understand what I was talking about at all.
What would be your "reasons". The evidence?
Well, just the other day I heard one interesting comment on a local
tv. Guy said, when there is no information (data), then logic works.
Paleoanthropology is a scientific discipline which lacks sound data a lot.
Then, why paleoanthropologists don't use logic? I am scared to think about
the reasons. -- Mario Petrinovic
