    in for the poo

    poop reviver

    I read an article once and I wish I could find it, but it was about the transient time in hunter gather populations is faster than the transient time in western culture.

    Of course, there's always breakthrough diarrhea

    Buf if you're suffering from that, then "old poo toxins" are probably the least of your worries

    ...and it is not the colonoscopy that cleans your colon, but the prep. The colonoscopy prep the evening before consists of taking big doses of diarrhea inducing medication.

    Eat a bunch of sugar free candy and wait half an hour, I promise you, you won't have any poop left inside of you!

    And also, the average primitive hunter/gatherer had a lifespan of, what? Thirty years?

    Average lifespan. That's because 1 in 4 babies die before their first birthdays and 1 in 10 women die in labor. The remaining adults lived into their 70s.

    Not a great source, but cites better ones and I'm too lazy to look up actual data to support a stupid point: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/life-expectancy-hunter-gatherer/#axzz2amdPbfFk

    I'm pretty sure I said average. Also "the remaining adults" didn't live into their seventies. They could, but this certainly wasn't the norm. In fact, the very article you've referenced says that only 79% of people who survive until age 15 make it to age 45. But more than half of children didn't make it that far.

    The average hunter gatherer who survived childhood lived to the age of 70 (the majority of the people who made it to 45 made it another 20+ years). The average lifespan was 30 years.

    If you look at it from a bell curve point of view, a normal distribution would suggest that, on average, a few people die early, a bunch of people die in their 30's and a few people live a long time. In fact, it's very left skewed. You either die early or you live a pretty normal (to us) lifespan.

    Yes, I understand how averages work. Hence my use of the word several times.

    Additionally, research done on the subject is limited and dependent primarily on ethnographic information about human beings living as hunter gatherers in present or in recent years. This is flawed, as we are comparing ourselves primarily to other human beings living in other parts of our world, in this current time, and assuming that our primitive ancestors had similar mortality rates. It's faulty reasoning, and only really indicates that people living in hunter/gather societies in modern times have similar mortality rates to the rest of us, provided they survive to adolescence. With regards primitive proto-humanoids, there are far fewer archaeological records available from which to draw conflusions.
    I know this is an old thread, but I call shenanigans. Not once... not even ONE TIME did anyone cover the effect of velociraptors.
