Some thoughts. We are the smartest (but obviously unwise and self-destructive sometimes) species. So there’s something to be said about that. The individual also suffer much less than back in the day and also compared to other species. But we are still (I think) just animals and all other animals have the same cut throat jungle laws. We just do it in suits / military uniform these days.
From studies in Sweden we see that the diet of Stone Age people in that region predominantly was seafood 80%, mostly shellfish, oysters, clams etc. some was meat, and the smallest 1% was from plant matter.
Most of that - ie the e seafood is eaten raw. And is best raw and known to be loosing nutritional value when heated up. (Eg dha)
We weren’t meant to eat brocolli or peanuts that’s for sure.
The other thing is where on the planet we are/were compared to what we eat. Obviously Inuits only ate meat/fat/seafood. What we can/should eat depends on their sun we are under. High UV vs low UV etc.
I think it’s interesting to look at the diet of WHEN the largest shifts in intelligence happened in the history of mankind. People point to the industrial age and say introduction of more food raised In. Sure, but Iot certainly wasn’t the biggest leaps in intelligence, by far.
Regarding eating raw meat, I see no issue with it and often prefer it. Most seafood I eat raw, steaks are done raw inside, eating heart, liver etc raw.
I think we prioritized that the individual shouldn’t get sick(food, medicine etc), but are sacrificing the whole species because of it.
Interesting thoughts.
