Lions might smell poison, but not round sharp stone fragments. They
tend to
tear prey's flesh apart, then swallow chunks whole, like wolves, not
chewing, since their stomach acids are very strong. Only bones get licked
and nibbled with coarse tongues and teeth to scrape away any attached
meat.
Raw meat chunks of the right size would be immediately wolfed down

AFAICT.

No evidence whatsoever that hominids put rocks
in meat for predators to swallow. None.

What evidence is there AGAINST it?

And for what purpose were all those
'hand-axes' created?

I dunno, Pauly, of what use could you put
an edge made via a concoidal fracture in a
world without edges...?

Say, you wanna talk about "Habitat preferences"
now? How about Alzheimers?
