Just saying hello as i couldn't find an introduction thread.

Hello every one, I'm Tobias.

Well a bit about my self... I'm twenty, a collage student, and for the past year did the stereotypical thing for a someone of my age a station in life, that's right i became a vegan, mainly for the health reasons but the moralisms did  catch up to me in time. No worries though, as i have since moved on from that particular philosophy on health and life, I did however learn quite a lot about diet and nutrition while experimenting with methods of keeping my self from becoming anemic. What brought an end to it all really was Jarred Diamond, a friend lent me his book "Guns germs and steal" and my eyes were opened to the fascinating world of anthropology and the characteristics of an undomesticated human ( or as you may know it, a caveman's diet), guess what it included and in what direction it pointed me? Anyway, I stumbled across this site a few weeks back and have been constantly impressed by it, kudos to the web designer and all involved in making this such an interesting and enlightening community, and so I have decided to join. I'm certain their is a great deal I can learn from this crowed, and I hope my own two cents will be useful. I look forward to getting to know all of you.

Best Wishes

Welcome Tobias 

What brought an end to it all really was Jarred Diamond, a friend lent me his book "Guns germs and steal" and my eyes were opened to the fascinating world of anthropology...

Jarred Diamond has been an important influence behind this website - his research and hypotheses were a major revelation for me - and I'm incredibly flattered that his book could (through various degrees of separation) lead you to this website.  I'm thrilled to meet another enthusiast of his work.

Ditto that.  Thanks for joining in.
