Why were early humans so fit if their diet pretty much only consisted of meat?
I’m talking about before we figured out we could grow vegetables and fruits. Early humans are often shown as being fit and in shape, yet our diet pretty much only consisted of meat. We were hunters. So why the hell were they so fit? I thought a healthy diet mattered more than just being active constantly?
Why would early humans have a mostly meat diet? There's plenty of foragable herbs, vegetables, and fruits to eat. Go to anywhere near the equator. Bananas grow on the trees.
We also have archeological evidence that producing beer happened before agriculture. So us humans were clearly pretty experimental with food.
Ancient humans probably ate a great diversity of plant life than we did!
Bananas grow on the trees.
Bananas grow on a herbaceous flowering plant.
Keep in mind that there is no such thing as a tree. They are tall and sturdy and woody and have a bunch of leaves on top, it is not unreasonable to call a banana plant a tree. Hell, the Wikipedia page for "Tree" goes back and forth on broader and narrower definitions and whether bananas and bamboo and so on count within them.
