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?

    Yes for sure, I’m aware of our unique advantage to hunt that way, it is cool. I just think during human history and development, whenever possible, hunters also employed their ingenuity to hunt smarter. Even animals try to reduce their risks of injury and avoid burning calories. They’ll stop a pursuit if it seems too hard or risky.
