For years\, high chemical nitrogen markers in ancient human bones led scientists to believe early hominins ate more meat than apex predators like lions and hyenas. But consuming that much lean meat causes a dangerous condition known as "rabbit starvation." In this talk\, Dr. Beasley shares groundbreaking findings from her Science Advances research: Neanderthals and early humans likely stored and fermented meat\, intentional practices that allowed fat-rich\, nitrogen-concentrated maggots to thrive. Rather than a sign of desperation\, maggot-rich foods were a deliberately cultivated\, nutritious staple on the Paleolithic menu.
