The stomach acidity of scavengers is similar to that of humans (around pH 1.5).

“and you know humans having a pH of 1 to 2 it's really we our stomachs look like the stomach's of carbon 2 3 yeah yeah”

“so it's a it's a very very unique situation that we have with very very high acidic uh stomach compared to other creatures”

“so the people wrote that paper says no it looks like humans were scavengers now these these guys don't know paler anthropology and and what i liked about it is not it doesn't only show that we are carnivores but in my opinion it also shows that we are a carnivores of large animals because we are very unique in that we take the the we kill and then we butcher and we take the parts to a central space where we guard the the meat and fat and we feed on them for days on end if they are large enough so at that time they develop of course bacteria and this is why the reasons why scavengers have high acidity is to fight the bacteria so we are like scavengers but we are we are carnivore scavengers special very special and this is a proof also support the to the fact that we specialize not just in hunting but in hunting large animals”

“so it's a it's a very very unique situation that we have with very very high acidic uh stomach compared to other creatures uh higher than omnivores or generalists i should say because we are also on board higher than carnivores and actually in the same range as you know uh scavengers right”

“you point this out in the paper that the acidity of the human stomach is usually 1.5 to 2 or the ph and that puts us sort of between these pure scavengers and carnivorous species”
