I did read it. However that wasn’t a study, it was a comment by a magazine (National Geographic) on the current groups today (not historical).
I didn’t even see the data to back it up, nor is it evenly distributed. Aka many groups will have higher or lower distributions.
Further, it didn’t say 70% were roots/fruit/vegetables it said 30% was meat. The article didn’t clarify if that was be weight, volume, count, etc. it’s possible 30% by volume is meat, but by that measure I could eat a watermelon and a steak and only 5% of my diet is meat.
It also mentions an African tribe that survives mostly on milk and honey. That tribe isn’t hunters and gatherers (they manage herds), but let’s assume they count that (no data listed), then that still isn’t meat nor vegetables/roots/fruits.
