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?

    I’m not exactly sure on the fitness standards. If you look at indigenous African tribes that still hunt baboon in the night they don’t look especially fit by today’s standards, kinda like average people really, although I’m sure they’re beasts on the endurance front and they can shoot a baboon off a tree in the darkness of night with a makeshift bow which is mad impressive.
