I mean, they had shorter lives… Our dietary requirements really aren’t all that complex if long term health is not a concern. What we now think of as “healthy” is an attempt to keep our bodies operating well long past the age where there’s an evolutionary reason for us to be alive. As far as evolution is concerned, once your children are old enough to survive on their own, you’re dead weight.
