It only makes sense that humans would have eaten whatever food was most accessible primarily, as our population has always expanded to meet the food supply available, and unlike other animals we can acquire and survive on a wide range of foods.

Because of this however root vegetables and fruits and then later grains have generally been the most available foods. This is probably why humans make so much starch amalayse relative to other animals and why it's not believable that our diet was primarily meat.

Fruit and root vegetables have always existed, chimps still primarily eat fruit so it can't be argued it needed to be cultivated before it was a viable source of food

>>74608046
We evolved a very different digestive system from chimps as we became human. Most fruits chimps eat would be inedible to humans. Researcher have tried. Too fibrous like an unripe banana

Grains have only been present for the last 10,000 of our 200,000 years as humans, and 6-7 million years of hominid evolution. If you understand anything about anthropology, it's impossible to come to the conclusion that we're adapted to digesting grains.

Look at the work of Weston Price. Look at Inuit tribes eating 99% meat vs their descendents who start eating grains. Look at modern hunter-gatherer tribes like the Hadza compared to "civilized" people in industrialized nations. Look at how our brains have gotten smaller and we've gotten shorter since the Agricultural Revolution. Every piece of evidence points to grains being harmful.

We literally know that phytic acid and other plant toxins prevent the absorption of nutrients and cause deficiencies. We know that oxalates accumulate in the body and rob it of calcium, and they also form oxalate crystals that either turn into kidney stones or damage other soft tissue in the body. We know that isothiocyanates like sulforophane prevent the absorption of iodine, leading to deficiency and even goiter. Plants are waging a chemical war against us, and their seeds are their babies, their next generation, the most highly defended parts of them.

And we know that humans are adapted to eating meat. Our stomach acid pH is around 2, lower than that of obligate carnivores like cats, and comparable to that of scavengers like vultures. That acidic environment is designed to kill dangerous microbes and break down meat. We do not have many large molars designed for grinding, the way ruminants do. We do not have multiple stomachs nor a large cecum, both of which house the bacteria that allow ruminants and gorillas, respectively, to digest plants. Our cecum is so small and atrophied that for many years, scientists actually thought it was a completely useless vestigial organ - we now know, of course, that the appendix houses bacteria to recolonize the gut in the event of severe digestive disturbance. We have front-facing eyes built for depth perception, an essential feature for predators to spot and chase moving prey. There are at least a dozen nutrients we can't get from plants, like creatine and choline.

The flesh of the fruit is designed to be tasty and nutritious while the seeds are quite literally designed to be indigestible so you'll shit them out in fresh fertilizer, you fucking retard.

You are agreeing with me and contradicting yourself yet insulting me. Seeds are supposed to be eaten with the fruit, yet survive digestion, as a method of seed dispersal, like I said.

Anthropology cannot inform on how long they lived to due to the inadequacies of dating tools within their profession.

I already eat around 200-300g of various lean meats a day. I’m sure in the short term carnivore can have some positive effects, most restriction diets do. I just don’t see how that can be sustainable in the long run, nor do I see how it’d be any healthier than a balanced diet with a degree of plant matter mixed in. Healthier than a vegan is not an admirable bar to clear.
Is there any legit reason to cut out leafy greens from a diet? If you really want to argue I could see fruit being unnecessary, but I can’t see living without greens. Even a

It's quite clear that grains offer a societal advantage to a human nation in the form of cheap and plentiful calories. You can get all the necessary nutrients from 1000-500kcal of animal products a day and eat the rest of your kcals in grains.

A nation of omnivores will conquer and subjugate herbivore and carnivore societies because it is superior in land use efficiency and can field a larger and more fit army with the same food production resources.

Evolution may be playing catchup when it comes to food consumption but eugenics is an easy solution for that.

A gorilla is an omnivore. Humans aren't. If we could be completely healthy on a vegan diet then we would be omnivores. An omnivores thrives on either food source, a species that thrives on animal foods but can tolerate some degree of plant foods isn't an omnivore, most carnivores fall into that category.

>>74606522
Your biology is that of a carnivore. Now the lifestyle you choose to live is another matter, most people want to identify as being lower on the food chain for whatever reason and prefer to eat like they are cows or chickens under some false moral pretense.
