I know, I KNOW, we are omnivores (you, me, maybe not our llm friends, but most of us)… but that doesn’t quite line up with biological necessity.
I would argue we are facultative omnivores, but obligate carnivores. We can eat plants for efficiency (famines and whatnot), but they are not necessary for life. Meat, however, is necessary - at the very least we would have b vitamin deficiencies without meat, and babies wouldn’t develop into healthy humans without it.
People will argue, and i love you all for it, that maybe this applies historically but in the modern food environment we can engineer our way out of this obligation - sure, that’s true, but when speaking of our species appropriate and native diet - we would still be obligate carnivores
Okay my well educate foreigner, what was the Australian population on what they call invasion day?
And what did the men who returned an English refugee from a convict settlement want instead of bread?
I do not know. Please care to further my education.
We believe the population was in the low millions. The men ate wichity grubs extracted from an acacia tree nearby.
The men being aboriginal, I’d say I’m not surprised.
The population was small for the available land mass, then. What is the point to carry from that?
Millions is pretty big numbers for a stone age population in an arid country like this.
