Seeing as how we hunted multiple mega fauna to extinction, I’m gonna go ahead and say that humans have been eating meat for a very long time. Also there’s shit tons of archeological evidence for our omnivorous diet going back hundreds of thousands of years, but… whatever.
I will never understand why people feel the need to try and prove humans are supposed to be herbivores. Who gives a fuck? There’s ample evidence that your can eat a healthy vegan diet, who gives a shit about “supposed to” if you can eat vegan either way?
…That “Megafauna extinctions in areas where they coexisted with humans were most likely caused by a combination of human pressure and access to water” It’s pretty obvious that as human society expanded there were less resources for the largest of animals. Sure, early humans hunted, and certainly to the brink of extinction and beyond in the post-industrial age, but do you really think that early humans hunted giant short faced bears to extinction for their meat or is it more likely that we simply outcompeted them?

Okay, Liz. No one is trying to take your steak away, please calm down.
*Also this took two seconds to find: “Megafauna extinctions in areas where they coexisted with humans were most likely caused by a combination of human pressure and access to water."” But also it’s extremely obvious.
I genuinely have no idea what you’re trying to say with that link. What’s obvious?
