Anthropologists do live with the Inuit in the far north for months - not just during the summer which is about 2 months. Otherwise how would they know the diets was primarily blubber during the winter.

I said earlier studies--I'm talking the 20's. They still would know from anecdotes. Also I'm talking from the sort of medical literature I've seen from the time, I don't deny the work of people like Steffanson who lived among them, sometimes through all seasons. I had more in mind studies where blood and urine samples were take, ketones and blood glucose etc. analyzed. Anyways, just conjecture when applied to the Shuar, not something I'd assume to be true, but a question to be asked. |
