Countless evidence proves that meat always constituted a small fraction of human diet from the paleolithic.
Starch has always been the main staple food.
- lambdaba 6y agoWhat is that evidence? I just doesn't make sense to me, humans always were the most effective hunters and meat is much more nutritious than starch.
- toochini 6y agoStarch was the staple after agriculture but the real staple was fruit and possibly small animals. Just look at chimps. Practically all cultures when they have the chance, prefer fruit. But even to this day a lot of people cannot afford them as a big component of their diet
- lambdaba 6y agoBut fruit as we know it isn't anything like most fruit available for our ancestors, most of them anyway. Much lower calorie and harder to access those calories. But our past as successful hunters definitely has evidence, my favorite is our domestication of wolves.
