So as evolution is a slow process, dietary guidelines also change very slowly. This means that a species tends not only to move towards a menu favorite types of food that supply energy, but also not react very well to the changes in that menu.
hundred thousand years ago during the Lower Paleolithic, the flocks and herds of animals roamed the Earth, followed closely by the Homo Sapiens. The Lower Paleolithic was a prolific hunter actually reduced many species to near extinction. In areas where hunting was good, people stopped to harvest fruits and vegetables rich in fiber. So lean meat, fruit and vegetables were the preferred menu, and also a menu in keeping with the human genetic structure.
There is evidence to suggest that in this period both men and women had a bone structure similar to that of elite athletes today. What types of athletes? Obviously, runners do not, but rather decathletes, able to combine speed with strength.
