Are you in a Low Carb diet? You need to read this

Here you go ElPumaMex.

That's your link.

I will answer you. We ate meat from the beginning. In the oldest humanoid fossils we found (1.8 million years) it's been tested with carbon that that guy/girl (they don't specify) ate meat. So since those times and until the industrialized revolution we ate unprocessed meat.
Before that period we don't know and we don't need to know. 1.8 million years is enough (genetically speaking) to figure out what works best for us.
By the way, none of the actual predators have tools and they manage to kill and eat.:laugh:

On the food that humans are designed to eat: a lot of debate there !
What would a diet of the first humans look like?

You could argue humans are not designed to eat meat, since we had no means to kill the animals, until we developed tools. Our current digestive system was already in place, long before we started killing animals.
But this is a hot topic, that would only take us outside the low carb discussion.
BTW, I do eat meat, so don't tag me as anti-meat :bigsmile:

Could you please direct me to where you found that humans ate meat from the beginning? or at least from 1.8 million years ago? (which btw, is a drop in the bucket of evolution time)

On the predators: last time I checked, I did not have the same "tools" as a Lion or similar predators. I challenge you to chase an animal and kill it without a weapon ! Even chasing a chicken would not be easy to do, and I don't think you were referring to chicken :smokin:

El Puma Mex. Insects, frogs, lizards and other small ones are meat. Just yesterday I've read that without any tools but using their brain and hunting in groups some monkeys eat other monkeys to complete their protein diet.
After we developed tools we went after bigger games.
And yes if I use my brain (it seems that you have a good one) I can ambush and corner a chicken and break his neck. This what made us different. Our brains.

I don't have perse a link but I have something saved on my machine. I hope you don't believe that I've made up those names.
Here you go:

"
Homo Habilis- 2.4 to 1.4 million years ago in East Africa-Their main diet was fruits, roots, nuts and vegetables that they found growing wild.

homo ergaster- 1.51 and 1.56 million years ago east and south africa- Increasinly scavaged carnivorious diet in the African regions but not in other regions.

Homo erectus- 1.8 and 1.0 million years ago africa and Eurasia-Lush vegetables, year round fruits, and occasional insects. This is the first of the homonin to branch off from Africa.

Homo neanderthalensis- 600,000 and 95,000 years ago Europe and west asia- Skilled hunters."

I ain't no scientist, however I did see an interesting tv show on human evolution (discovery channel) a couple of years back that discussed around this topic. it said that basically while humans lacked some other evolutionary predatory "tools" such as claws and top speeds of in the tens of miles per hour, they had other tools that strengthened over time. While not as fast as other animals, humans have the potential for a greater stamina than many with a quick recovery allowing for the tracking of prey over great distances, where as those animals with great speeds have tend to have lower stamina. Humans are also more versatile as far as handling various terrains. Then there's the whole higher mental capacity and opposable thumb thing we have going for us. Also, humans are pack animals by nature, which paired with a higher level of critical problem solving capacity makes the probability of success while hunting higher. Now maybe my evolutionary science is outdated, but my understanding is that one of the proofs of humans being omnivores for more than an evolutionary heart beat is in the teeth. We have those great ripping and tearing teeth to the front for really tearing apart that juicy steak without manners and the chewing and gnashing teeth in the back perfect for the side salad.

bumping to read later.

whatever

/rolleyes

why don't you concentrate on what works for you, and leave other people and what they eat alone?!

^^^^ You're AWESOME
