Analysis Summary
This checks out — the linked article is from EurekAlert, which publishes peer research summaries, and confirms both the core claim and the methodology. The study used isotope analysis of bone samples from a massive dataset (12,281 individuals across 673 sites) to show men consistently had higher meat consumption over 10,000 years. The article explains the technique (nitrogen isotope ratios indicate meat consumption) and notes this pattern persisted across all historical eras, though it was least pronounced in early Neolithic societies. One small note: the post simplifies a nuanced finding — the study measured *inequality* using an interdecile ratio, not just raw consumption differences, which is a bit more sophisticated than the headline suggests, but the core claim is accurate.
