- zeven7 5y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlier You should make sure you understand what outliers are. The fact that you can name people from outside modern times that lived a long time is meaningless to the discussion.
- SamReidHughes 5y agoAs if I don't understand what outliers are. They weren't outliers. I simply looked up famous Indians because I remembered one had lived to a startlingly old age, and skipped those who got killed by other people. If their diet caused health problems, you wouldn't have all these folks living to a decent age. All the Indian leaders would have bene these young guys who died off at 45 from eating too much venison.
- zeven7 5y agoI definitely don't think modern diets are better than what I imagine Native Americans ate hundreds of years ago. Venison sounds like a very healthy staple in a diet.
