    Behavior drives morphological change during human evolution

    Abstract

    Dietary shifts and corresponding morphological changes can sometimes
    evolve in succession, not concurrentlyrCoan evolutionary process called behavioral drive. Detecting behavioral drive in the fossil record is challenging because it is difficult to measure behaviors independently
    from corresponding morphologies. To solve this problem, we focused on a puzzling behavior in the fossil record of some primates: eating
    graminoid plants. We report carbon and oxygen isotope ratios from fossil cercopithecid monkeys and integrate the data into a view of hominin
    dietary evolution, finding that changes in graminivorous behavior
    preceded corresponding changes in dental morphology by ~700,000 years. Decoupling diets and morphologies in time was conducive to determining
    when and to exploring why dietary changes helped to propel human evolution.

    This stuff is *Very* old and has been raised here many times
    in the past: Human behaviors change our anatomy. Period.

    If you think of it on a Micro/Marco scale...

    If you stretch a piece of your skin, right now, apply tension
    to it, and keep that tension going -- which means adjusting
    it every so often -- that skin will grow. It will grow to
    relieve that tension.

    And, yes, if you want to get weird there are "Products"
    or techniques to apply this to your penis, to make the
    whole damn thing longer, or just the skin, like if you're
    circumcised and feel a need to "Restore" the foreskin.

    Google it!

    Humans don't necessarily need changes to our DNA. Maybe
    the changes aren't big but, you can tell a horseback
    rider from the rest of the crowd in ancient Roman burials...

    P.S. The things like "loved eating grasses" is just WokeTardia.

    It's not real. It's the social program.

    Like here in America the price of eggs sky rocketed, even
    the availability, all because of a "Bird Flu" that didn't
    infect any birds that knew how to fly & migrate, so the
    problem never struck south of the border... you could get
    a dozen eggs for WAY less than $2 in Mexico when they were
    topping $7 in many places here.

    That same "Bird Flu" was also infecting cats, because
    commercially available cat food is now comprised of raw
    meat. I mean. I was surprised too.

    Paleo anthropology is NOT a real science. It's a social
    program. And the people who own it have long been pushing
    the WokeTarded agenda.

    Heck, these ass clones have even insisted that the Holocene
    ended and it's now "The Anthropocene."
