Some Carnivore Questions to think about.
Some Carnivore Questions to think about.
When was agriculture invented? ↧
Agriculture
likely began during the Neolithic Era before roughly 9000 BCE when
polished stone tools were developed and the last ice age ended.

The first agriculture appears to have developed at the closing of the
last Pleistocene glacial period, or Ice Age (about 11,700 years ago).

How long have humans been on earth? ↧
But
fragments of 300,000-year-old skulls, jaws, teeth and other fossils
found at Jebel Irhoud, a rich site also home to advanced stone tools,
are the oldest Homo sapiens remains yet found.

Homo
sapiens, who are the modern form of humans evolved 300,000 years ago
from Homo erectus. Human civilizations started forming around 6,000
years ago.

What did humans eat before agriculture was invented? ↧
By
about two and a half million years ago, early humans started to
occasionally eat meat. By about 2 million years ago, this happened more
regularly. By probably about a million and a half years ago, humans
started to get the better parts of animals. They shifted from just
scavenging the leftovers to maybe getting earlier access to carcasses.

A
Stone Age diet “is the one and only diet that ideally fits our genetic
makeup,” writes Loren Cordain, an evolutionary nutritionist at Colorado
State University [...] After studying the diets of living
hunter-gatherers and concluding that 73 percent of these societies
derived more than half their calories from meat, Cordain came up with
his own Paleo prescription: Eat plenty of lean meat and fish but not
dairy products, beans, or cereal grains

What fueled the human brain before agriculture? ↧
The
growth of the human brain is evolutionarily outstanding, because the
brain is a costly organ. The Homo sapiens brain uses 20% of the body's
oxygen at rest despite making up only 2% of the body's weight.
