Makes sense considering humans diverged into vastly different environments thousands of generations ago. Compare the food available to, say, Inuit tribes vs groups living in a jungle. No reason we couldn't have specialized, particularly given genetic links to gut biota [1] (I'm sure there are more pertinent sources). Meanwhile globalization has rapidly exposed all of us to foods from corners far away from the lands of our ancestors.
