Abstrakt: The article explores the idea of influencers promoting meat-heavy diets based on the belief that humans evolved to eat meat. However, evidence from studies of human remains, living primates, and modern-day hunter-gatherers suggests that our ancestors had more diverse diets that included plant-based foods. While meat did play a role in our evolution, it does not mean that we are strictly carnivorous. The article emphasizes the importance of considering a wider range of evidence when understanding human evolution and diet, and concludes that there is no one prescribed diet for humans.
