Why did humans start eating meat?
It should have felt unnatural at first, to eat animal flesh. When all, we're not thus so much faraway from animals ourselves. Perhaps it even felt cannibalistic. There would possibly not have been that abundant intellectual distinction between humans and other animals. When humans were pure vegetarians, they were living in harmony with the world and with the opposite creatures co-habiting the planet with them. Their closest animal relatives, apes, were vegetarians. Eating the product of the earth, like plants, grains and fruits that they might gather and eat would have appeared the natural order of things.
But necessity is that the mother of invention. Prehistoric men who lived in frozen geographies, or who lived in an area that became devastated by hearth, would have eaten something to survive. Just just like the soccer players whose plane crashed in the mountains of Chile, and were forced to eat the flesh of alternative players who died in the crash, earliest man at some purpose had to make the selection for survival, and that could have consuming meat for the primary time and changing human history - and health - forever.
We will imagine that men first ate meat that had been charred or cooked by virtue of being caught in an exceedingly natural forest fire. They would possibly have subsequently eaten raw meat, if necessary, but we tend to can conjointly imagine that our earliest digestive systems rebelled against eating raw meat.
Imagine having eaten raw foods and vegetables for eons, and all of a sudden, incorporating meat product into your system. You may have heard friends who were vegetarians tell stories of attempting to eat meat and turning into violently sick afterwards.
Biologists will tell you we tend to're very not designed to eat meat, but we have a tendency to adapted to it. But, in the timeline of human history, eating meat could be a relatively recent evolutionary development.
