tldr: Homo habilis ate some meat, and Homo erectus was more of an omnivore, eating tougher-to-chew/digest foods...and even later, started to cook foods...both meat and plant-based.
The "paleo" diet is what happens when a bunch of jocks get high, watch the Flintstones and decide to base a diet off what they saw.
- lettergram 5y agoYeah, I’m sure that’s why the tribes all over the world followed the herds... Do the math on trying to survive off vegetables or fruit. Heavy meat consumption is basically required (alternative energy sources could be milk, honey, and nuts - but still limited and often need cultivation).

- c0nducktr 5y agoCan you define "heavy meat consumption"? What is "heavy"? Edit: Will you define what "heavy meat consumption" means?
- lettergram 5y agoThe vast majority of energy necessary for life (and likely nutrients) come from meat (the protein & fat). So let’s say 70-80% of the nutrition required for life. Honestly, 30% of a Hunter gatherers m diet might be meat if it’s analyzed by volume or amount on a plate. It’s not really clear how it’s measured
- nec4b 5y agoGood luck eating plant based diet in the woods and steppes of Northern America, Europe and Asia.
- c0nducktr 5y agoIt really shows how amazing the human body is. We can survive basically anywhere.
- nec4b 5y agoIt is amazing how well we can adapt to the food source available. Unfortunately some people don't care about that amazement. They are preoccupied forcing their dietary and moral habits onto the others.
