The second link doesn't seem to say anything other than what coprolite analysis is. The first link doesn't seem to have anything about paleo dung that indicates plant eating.

example 01: 8300 yr BP, lower levels, to around 500 yr BP,
example 02: 890 - 950 AD.
example 03: 5200-5300 yr BP and doesn't say anything about plants.
example 04: 1650 AD
example 05: doesn't say anything about time or plants
example 06: 675-1700 AD
example 07: 13th-15th centuries
example 08: romans
example 09: 1475 ± 50 AD
example 10: doesn't say anything about time or plants
example 11: no date indicated
example 12: 2500 BC - 500 AD.
example 13: 9,500 - 1600 yr BP

....

I continued down and went through every single one, the oldest that indicates humans eating plants is example 13. I couldn't find anything in there that would indicate paleo peoples eating plants. You can give it another skim, maybe I missed one.



P.S.: Sorry Thinny, nothing shocking, your blind faith was exactly that.
