Barry, >And even if such uncooked material could have been digested. We have no dietary enzymes or micro-organisms that will do the job today. If we had them then, why don't we now? I have them. Uncooked fruits and veggies, nuts and seeds make up the vast preponderance of my diet and have done so for 10 years now. If I didn't have the enzymes to digest them, I'd be long gone by now. Even the occasional animal parts I consume are taken raw. Is there any proof that all or most of the Earth was ever covered in ice? Some people think that "ice ages" are a misnomer, that what really happens is that the Earth tilts and slips on its axis periodically as ice accumulates on the poles and makes the globe topheavy, so that what you end up with is parts that used to be warm getting iced over and other parts that used to be polar getting warmed up. Does anyone really know what was going on here millions of years ago?
