I’m sorry where did you get this idea or information that meat has been scarce throughout history? Humans evolved eating both meat and vegetables/fruit. Even some of our earlier ancestors like Homo Habilis (who lived approximately 2.3 mya) were known to eat lots of meat. We have archeological evidence of this.
