This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

To clarify by modern man, I meant a human living in the year 2026 who eats a "modern diet" of (at least partially) processed foods with significantly lower fiber intake than that of a preindustrial man. (Obviously this would be excluding currently living humans who are living in tribal conditions, such as those living in North Sentinel Island.)

I was not attempting to imply that those living at that time were of a different species than homosapiens. To be honest if they were a different species I'm not sure my comment would have made sense as different homo species would likely have subtle differences in their digestive tracks than homosapiens.
