Follow Jan. 28, 2021 People love to eat turtles and tortoises, and always have – an appetite that has helped reduce Mediterranean sea turtles to desperate straits. Now an article by Canan Çakrlar from the University of Groningen and colleagues, published in the journal of Antiquity, reports proof of sea turtle consumption going back around 10,000 years in East Mediterranean coastal communities, but not earlier. Which seems strange. The coastal prehistoric peoples of the Paleolithic ate pretty much everything else that moved in the sea. Other studies have found consumption of testudinidae, the greater family of turtles and tortoises, going back more than a million years. Hominins and humans alike supped on roast tortoise, so one has to wonder why Mediterranean sea turtles – of which there are three tasty species – were relatively spared until the Neolithic.
