Diener, Paul and George Avery. (1979).Protein, nutritional hazard, and cultural evolution: some theoretical comments. -- Lamda Alpha Journal of Man, v.11, no.2, p.18-53
Abstract
A recent critique of ecological tqeory and the protein
focused upon some general features of human nutrition and the
cultural biases which have led to an overemphasis on the role
of animal protein (Diener, Moore, and Mutaw 1980). In this
paper, authors expand upon that general critique and develop
an alternative, evolutionary perspective upon problems of
human nutrition. They employ the relative
importance of plant and animal foods in Mesoamerica as a useful
example.
