    Excellent presentation. Glad that Dr Pontzer gave recognition to the
    Hadza's warm hospitality

    So what's the bottom line? How long do the people you studied live?

    How much percentage of their diet is meat? Do they eat a higher fat diet with fatty meat or a lower fat diet with lean meat?
    Can someone answer this dang question, I’ve posted this everywhere. Thank you 🙏

      30%, according to Dan Liebermann. He also lived with the Hadza.

    The Hadza don't get to eat the diet they use to eat because of loss of land to hunt

      It’s true!!! That’s why they are gradually relying more and more on corn derived porridges. The conclusion about the importance of meat in the diet of these people from Mr. Pontzer is quite erroneous.

      They didn't lose all they have specific area giving to them permanently to hunt think its 10k hectares. Less then before ofcourse they also get corn for support during shortage

      @@skywatchers9675they are restricted on the animals they can hunt too. We can imagine that 100s or thousands of years ago they were hunting elephants, hippos, buffalo and rhinos.

    Comparing modern hunter gatherers with ancient hunter gatherers is not always indicative of how our ancestors lived. All the scientific evidence about ancient hunter gatherers is that they ate primarily fat and meat, not carbs. This scientist's conclusion is wrong about our ancestral diet.

    • @Ruktiet

      It probably depends upon where the people lived; in the more northern regions, they would almost exclusively eat meat. But humans only started migrating northwards about 40000 years ago, so most humans would have lived in environments where there would be a reliable amount of plant foods such as fruits and roots to fall back on after an unsuccesful hunt. But I agree, most of their dietary calories must’ve come from animals. There’s just no way they would have gotten the nutrition meat provides from a plant alternative without farming and industrialization.
      The meat consumption graph shown in this presentation suggests that the Hadza prefer to eat mostly meat, but aren’t very succesful durikg some times, which can be explained by their ever diminishing territory because of neighbouring farmer tribes, reducing the game populations.

      Where would they get it so easy? Think of predators, how many can live on an area of land, there is no way people would not hunt animals to extinction if they lived mainly on meat and ..what fat? game does not have that much fat ..

      ​@@belavdragon8849 Where humans lived during the hunter gatherer eras there were animals of all sizes to hunt, big, medium, small. A lot of them went extinct after our population boomed and then we ended up farming. We have been eating mostly meat for around 2 million years.
      We actually hunted a lot of megafauna species to extinction because of how much we hunted, even predators went extinct because we competed with them or we ate them. Our population was also much lower back then. There were only 2 million people 40,000 years ago and they were spread around the world. *200,000 years ago there were only 20,000 humans* and we ate mostly meat until 10,000 years ago when we slowly started doing farming and domesticating plants.
      We invented farming and domesticated plants. in the neolithic period after we killed all the big animals.
      Game does have fat. Hunter Gatherers dont just eat the lean parts of the animal, they eat all of it, organs etc.
