SAMA HOOLE: We didn't leave paradise. We left scarcity for abundance. Those who stayed: Same brain, no tools, no language. Those who left for fatty meat: Tripled brain size, invented language, built civilizations.

7 million years ago: Climate shifts. African forests shrink.

Some primates stay in trees eating fruit. Brain: 400cc. Still there today.

Our ancestors leave for the grasslands. Why? The savanna had megafauna carrying 200kg of fat.

7 million years ago: Climate shifts. African forests shrink. Some primates stay in trees eating fruit. Brain: 400cc. Still there today. Our ancestors leave for the grasslands. Why? The savanna had megafauna carrying 200kg of fat. We didn't leave paradise. We left scarcity for abundance. Those who stayed: Same brain, no tools, no language. Those who left for fatty meat: Tripled brain size, invented language, built civilizations. One group chose fruit. One chose fat. Check which one is reading this. Peaters insist that fruit is essential. We literally evolved by LEAVING fruit behind 7 million years ago. But sure, your mango smoothie is ancestral.
