    We lived upon glaciers last ice age (except for tropical people and probably those in the southern hemisphere) if we weren’t hyper carnivores then we couldn’t have lived in Europe, we couldn’t have crossed to the Americas. We ate animals that could eat the plants that could grow on the ice and the mountain tops poking through the glaciers, there was no fruit, no grain, no root vegetables, no beans, no cruciforms. There hasn’t been enough time since then for us to become herbivores, though we inherited much ability to eat many plants from the herbivorous apes we evolved from

      It’s not just black and white, herbivores or carnivores. There’s a whole spectrum of omnivory and humans are superomnivorous. We can survive on many types of diet.

        Indeed we can, I only thrive as a hyper carnivore, as I’m allergic to grass (including the food grains and bamboo clothing) and intolerant of so many plants.

        I think the only plants I can eat with no ill effects are most of the fruits

        My ancestors were all northern European, the most meat eating people for the longest after the plains amerindians and Inuit
