You know, I've been wondering if we really were? LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 14/11/2010 03:05:58 AM
Designed to eat animals, anyway. What most people would think of as animals. It's hard to judge based on "today's man".

I think it's more likely we were designed to live primarily on plant and bug life, with the assorted "real meat" diet when it became available, either through carrion, small mammals or being "lucky".

One of the main reasons why I think this is that we don't seem to be the definitive host for many parasites, and even fewer parasites where predation is the main vector of transmission.

That and, comparatively, we're poorly evolved for hunting. Beyond tool use, we have no real predation skills. We wouldn't have been able to catch more than small mammals.

It would be interesting to go back in time and see what we really DID eat. Even more interesting to compare our GI-related systems then, with now, as I'm sure we've changed since our original diet.
