I’m talking about before we figured out we could grow vegetables and fruits. Early humans are often shown as being fit and in shape, yet our diet pretty much only consisted of meat. We were hunters. So why the hell were they so fit? I thought a healthy diet mattered more than just being active constantly?

    Humans became the top predators due to “persistence hunting” which literally involved running slower than the prey but for longer distances until the prey was exhausted.
