Keep scrolling downward.........huge chart of life spans, etc.
The information from your link is not of much value to me because when you go back to those time periods, people didn't live long enough to develop degenerative diseases to the extent that people die from today.

I have often said that eating meat was probably good for hunter/gatherers because they needed a concentrated form of energy to expend on their active lifestyle, and they didn't have to worry as much as we do about developing degenerative diseases.

The only reason I used the Paleolithic example was to prove that dairy is not needed to build strong bones.
