Yes he does, page 150 on the softcover 6th edition: " Dinkas,

Jebelein, Dudan. This tribe lives on the Nile. Its members are not as

tall as the Neurs. They are physically better proportioned and have

greater strength. They use fish from the Nile and cereals for their

chief diet. They decorate their bodies profusely with scars. "

I feel like some hebrew scholar poring over the Talmud!

******No he does not mention these groups as being the high grain eaters

who are suffering from diseases/dental caries that were absent among the

high (in terms of quantity not type) meat eaters. He believes that those

who ate grains and seafood were the healthiest, mostly meat eaters

second, and mostly grain eaters third. but some of his criteria for

judging such strikes me as *highly* subjective.

The Talmud? Good analogy. Dr. Price certainly didn't have a writing style

fit for popular consumption :-)
