Diversity of Diet Was Key to Our Survival

Scientists and archeologists have been able, with the assistance of modern genetic research and technology, to identify that the entire human race today derives from about 600 breeding individuals at the southern tip of Africa about 115,000-90,000 years ago. These humans prospered because of their diversity of diet, while all other forms of the humanoids became extinct, like the Neandertals whose diets were dependant upon a single food source.
