Padma Shri Dr. Khader Vali has been telling that the humans were eating fermented porridge for decades. Humans gradually became vegetarian with milk products in diet. Now, they are becoming vegan for added environmental and ethical reasons
My entire family was suffering from B12 and Vit D deficiency due to veg diet. Most of the content Krish made really saved us ,,now moving forward with certain changes in diet..
Most animals are now B12 deficient as well as that comes from bacteria living in healthy soils. Most of the intensively reared animals (99% of the animal agro supply) are supplemented B12, so you are just consuming the supplemented meat. Omega 3 as well, the fish get it from algae and you get loads of Omega 3 algae sources. There is a lot of research that points to all cause mortality reducing with a plant based diet. Also as you say you were on a veg diet, this means you were having milk correct? There should have been loads of B12 in your milk as those poor mothers are supplemented with loads of B12, antibiotics and growth hormones.
@ there is B12 in milk and eggs. No plant based source contains B12. I really don’t understand how the word vegetarian was coined as it is proper mental gymnastics. Production of milk and eggs cause as much if not more suffering than the meat industry. Which is why the beef ban in some parts of India is quite mind boggling as the milk industry causes more harm to the mother cow.

Really Thankful to the content. People really forgets that concepts like Ahimsa & vegetarian is largely coming from Buddhist & Jainism times. And even to think about such ecosystem of concept. You must be living in tropical places like India, Not countries with large portion of deserts or bone chilling colds in winters.

It was tough times both constant warfare & Nature fury. In current world, it's wise to not kill animal. I love all animals, even they are not smart & intelligent compare to us However, i am thankful to ancestors, who has made us to survive this far in Holocene era, while some of us are trying actively to bring it down to stone age 😀
It just means that those very "hot" or very "cold" climates are actually not fit for living in by humans year-round. That is what nomadism, pastoralism and seasonal migrations meant in human history. Trying to "adapt" to that unlivable conditions just mean that life is likely less sustainable at the place where you are, at great cost to you and your local environment and its resources. Ergo - "temparate zone" civilizations are so energy, water and resource inefficient. AKA what we call "West" and "Middle East" - basically unlivable.
Great video as usual. Vegetarianism as a concept could have only evolved as sections of society became prosperous enough to say "no" to certain foods. Our ancestors did not have that luxury ..
@@sageofsixpaths98 Not necessarily; vegetarian “factions” can be found in early Indian societies and societies across the globe. Even the Vedas, while they don’t endorse a particular diet, talk extensively about care of animals, so much so that many Hindu reformists use Vedic verses to argue for vegetarianism. Nobody “starts” philosophies; Jain practices of ahimsa likely evolved out of pre-existing vegetarian philosophies that were popularized during the time of Mahavira.
Prosperity is relative. India was a tropical, green country with a variety of edible plants and so they were relatively prosperous. This is also what provoked invaders from the colder and drier north and west.
@@sageofsixpaths98 he his saying true saying no to food while starving and being picky could stupid for those people thats why they ate what they had and growing crop was not a easy thing.
Vegetarian food has always been a matter of convenience. Cultivating was easier than hunting, so there was a shift.

Good explanation, when people say 'our' ancestors, they mean different things. Some goes back to the time when humans were living without civilization, some goes back to the time we were a different species, some just goes back to the time of Buddha and Mahavira. If we go back we can see vegetarian (or mostly plant eating omnivore) before we branched out from our surviving ape cousins. After that for long period of time, we ate what we found edible because the foods that humans ate near the equator is not the food that humans are near the poles. Only after we created technologies to create large quantities and varieties of foods ourselves, we got confused what to eat (maybe that's a good thing).
@@abhishek8977 objectives of Krish & Pal are different. Dr.Pal is propagating good eating habits (intermittent fasting, balanced diet, etc) and Krish is into creating awareness on science behind food, debunking myths etc. One cannot simply push aside what Pal is doing. That's my perspective.

Wonderfully explained! Loved the analogy of sounds, data centres and how we are able to use our brains 😀…one question on the counter side…over these millions of years, why is it that it’s only the human beings from among numerous terrestrials that got the chance to eat cooked meat via forest fires to begin with? How come no other species never ever got the chance to eat cooked meat and hence benefit from a comparatively larger brain…and lastly how come our primate cousins who share ~98% of our DNA, and are known to have the same ancestors as us, are still largely vegetarians?

1.12 HUMAN EVOLUTION There are three observations to be made about our human history. 1. Human beings have been in existence for over 2 million years and have evolved over many more millions of years. Initially, our ancestors lived primarily on trees eating fruits and roots. As the climate changed and trees thinned out, our ancestors couldn’t just jump from tree to tree and had to start walking a few steps to get to the next tree. As the trees moved further apart, walking had to become more efficient and they started moving on hind legs. The grains growing on wild grasses, became part of our ancestors diet. Also, meat left over by carnivorous animals became part of the diet. We thus evolved to become gatherers and scavengers and small game hunters. It was much later, as our tools evolved and became more powerful, were we able to kill large animals. As a result, our diet primarily consisted of wild plant based food with very small portions of animal food. The fossilized poop analysis has shown that the animal food comprised less than 5% of the Paleo diet. It was only 10,000 years ago that we settled down and domesticated animals. 2. All animals living in the wild, even today, do not require any veterinarian visits or medications. The food they eat is in natural form and unprocessed. Their main concern is finding food and the fear of the predators. Most sicknesses among them are either food related or attacks by insects and leaches. When they get sick, they usually stop eating for a few days or modify their diet by looking for some special plant or food. 3. Throughout the bulk of human history, like all wild animals, our body was self healing without any need for inorganic medicines or visits to doctors and hospitals. When we were indisposed our body told us what to do and it mostly involved: - Resting - Fasting - Changing food - Nature cures like messages Even in the last two thousand years, doctors advised us “Let the food be Thy medicine”. Most people tried kitchen herbal remedies and fasting. When we visited a doctor (Vaid, Hakim or a nature path) his focus was on analyzing our diet, poop, urine, and physical symptoms. His prescription of medicine included some herbal concoction and instructions to avoid certain foods, while taking that concoction.(In Hindi it was called Perhej). Some times they also prescribed that the medicine should always be consumed with a cup of some food or a glass of some juice. We would never know whether the medicine did the trick or the avoidance of certain foods or inclusion of some foods or juice or just the placebo, but it worked most of the time. Probably all four played some role. Plant Based Whole Food (PBWF) (also called by some Whole Food Plant Based) Doctors believe that root cause of all chronic illnesses today is the food we eat and the lifestyle we lead and when we change that, all chronic illnesses disappear. Our body has evolved, to self heal and when we interfere with that healing process by taking medications to suppress symptoms (which were part of the compensating mechanism) additional complications arise requiring more medications and the dependence on medications keeps on increasing. This puts us in a vicious circle, the end of which is organ failure and death.
Yes, our ancestors started eating raw meat in the beginning. Then by accident, fire was discovered and then came cooked meat. Finally to feed more people, we started cultivation. This is truth and noone can escape it. I have no problem with any diet as it varies with tradition, custom and religious belief. But acceptance of truth is key. One little correction, brain got bigger in humans because of SUGAR, protein might my played a role. But SUGAR is mainly responsible for this.
The hypothesis that only meat consumption led to the enlargement of the human brain is often challenged by the observation that carnivorous animals such as lions and tigers do not possess comparatively large brains. Instead, it is the advent of cooking that is believed to have significantly contributed to the development of larger human brains. Cooked food, regardless of whether it is meat or plant-based, enhances nutrient availability. Moreover, while meat may indeed have been more readily accessible and constituted a substantial portion of the ancestral human diet, the practice of cooking calorie-dense foods played a crucial role. Cooking not only improved the bioavailability of nutrients but also provided a high-calorie intake, thereby affording our ancestors the opportunity to allocate more time to the development of tools and the advancement of communication skills.
Dunno what you have been reading the argument is consumption of calorie dense food not if you are carnivores or not. Species with protein consumption (and their ability to catch said protein) is the primary driver in larger brains and intellegence. Thanks for playing. You are the weakest link.
@shelldie8523 The correlation between brain size and intelligence is negligible; rather, cognitive capacity is significantly influenced by the quantity of neurons. Our ancestors' consumption of calorie-dense, cooked, and nutrient-rich foods facilitated an evolutionary advantage by allowing more time to be devoted to skill enhancement and communication. This advancement, in turn, resulted in an increased neuron count across generations.
@@shelldie8523 Species with protein consumption is primary driver for survival dude. All animals eat protein. All animals are made of proteins. The problem here is the assumption that meat played a role in our brain development. There is no good evidence to suggest that hypothesis, but we do know that glucose is the fuel for brain and carbs rich foods provide good amount of glucose to fuel our brain.
Good video. My thought on term "Non-Vegetarian" / "Non-Veg" The term "Non-Vegetarian" carries a terminological bias, as it implicitly positions vegetarianism as the default or superior choice. This perspective can feel exclusionary to individuals who consume a combination of meat, plant-based foods, and dairy products. As an alternative, the following terms could be considered: 1. "Flexitarian" - Those who primarily eat plant-based foods but occasionally consume meat. 2. "Inclusive Vegetarians" - Diet that includes a variety of foods, encompassing both vegetables and meat.
Dear Krish Ashok . I very much liked your video. The problem is you have put facts which might have been very much inspired by the Darwin theory. The mention of primitive way of living and eating meats quite relates to that theory only. Now the question is we don't have sufficient answers to how life came into existence and we are talking about food habits. Brahma Samhita describes the existence and Manu Samhita describes our food habits. Even Mahabharat talks about vegetarian and non-vegetarian food habits. To put it in a very easy way maximum population used to be vegetarian but there were significant numbers also who were non vegetarian. But those significant numbers were either could be eating cooked food or raw food also. For that we have to refer to what was the area of the most advanced vedic region.
Love your content! Where can I find the sources for this content? I did some research on it and was unable to verify some of the claims in this video. It’d be nice to have the resources for the claims that you made.
The appeal to nature fallacy posits that practices engaged in by our ancestors should be emulated in contemporary times. However, this assumption is flawed, as it overlooks the significant differences in environmental and societal contexts. Unlike our ancestors who faced limited food availability, modern society enjoys an abundance of resources, rendering such ancestral practices a necessity for survival in their time, but not in ours.
If we collectively stop eating and inject or ingest the required nutrients in the form of medicines will that lead to brain maxxing because of the zero digestion ?
I thought our ancestors' brains became larger because they were scavengers who ate bone marrow from the carcasses discarded by predators like tigers. I think I read this in Sapiens by Y N Harari.
Doesn't matter what our ancestors ate, they lived in whole different environment and we are living in a different environment, I think one will understand whats good for them if they are conscious of their self. You won't need all the elaborate articles and videos unless you are lost. Everybody and every circumstances are different, I think one should choose what their gut says don't go based on youtubers.
Some Monkeys were vegetarians and homo-sapiens omnivorous, some lazy homo-sapiens were eating monkey foods. Because they are not brave enough to hunt animals but cunning enough fool others.

Vegetarianism and veganism is not bad , you can be so for moral and ethical reasons but you must accept biological and medical disadvantages of it . Problem with vegan is not that they don't eat meat problem is that they think its ' medically better ' not to eat meat and there for give dumb responses for it .
@arjunathesage7010 They serve vegetarian meal in hospital because it's less controversial . If they start serving chicken peoples religion would feel ' attacked' .

We are already diabetic capital of world thanks to high carb law protein diet Imagine if obesity rates reach equal those are in usa what will happen ?

In India, the biggest reason for vegetarians is religion ,no body think scientific reason too. Fact is that if anybody choose to vegetarian or vegan they need to take care of diet properly to avoid any deficiency.
Comments about the brain rot due to social media at the end was nice. But seeing that Krish is spreading this message using social media gives us some hope for the medium
Definitely humans were nonveg....but hunting any animal is not an easy task...so they used to consume leaf and insects.....cooking was very very late phenomenon....surely once we learned cooking humans body started developing itself.
Doesn't matter whether they were or not (as someone with Rajput heritage I'm sure my ancestors have been meat eaters) non veg diet is objectively superior anyway.
Our ancestors were uncivilized also living in Forest in very uncomfortable situation like us they were not living in well planed well devolved with all the facilities and densely populated cities, they were also uneducated did not know meat eating is wrong, but still they were vegetarian most of time Non-veg some time

1. Human beings have been in existence for over 2 million years and have evolved over many more millions of years. Initially, our ancestors lived primarily on trees eating fruits and roots. As the climate changed and trees thinned out, our ancestors couldn’t just jump from tree to tree and had to start walking a few steps to get to the next tree. As the trees moved further apart, walking had to become more efficient and they started moving on hind legs. The grains growing on wild grasses, became part of our ancestors diet. Also, meat left over by carnivorous animals became part of the diet. We thus evolved to become gatherers and scavengers and small game hunters. It was much later, as our tools evolved and became more powerful, were we able to kill large animals.
As a result, our diet primarily consisted of wild plant based food with very small portions of animal food. The fossilized poop analysis has shown that the animal food comprised less than 5% of the Paleo diet. It was only 10,000 years ago that we settled down and domesticated animals.
2. All animals living in the wild, even today, do not require any veterinarian visits or medications. The food they eat is in natural form and unprocessed. Their main concern is finding food and the fear of the predators. Most sicknesses among them are either food related or attacks by insects and leaches. When they get sick, they usually stop eating for a few days or modify their diet by looking for some special plant or food.
3. Throughout the bulk of human history, like all wild animals, our body was self healing without any need for inorganic medicines or visits to doctors and hospitals. When we were indisposed our body told us what to do and it mostly involved:
- Resting
- Fasting
- Changing food
- Nature cures like messages
Even in the last two thousand years, doctors advised us “Let the food be Thy medicine”.
Most people tried kitchen herbal remedies and fasting. When we visited a doctor (Vaid, Hakim or a nature path) his focus was on analyzing our diet, poop, urine, and physical symptoms. His prescription of medicine included some herbal concoction and instructions to avoid certain foods, while taking that concoction.(In Hindi it was called Perhej). Some times they also prescribed that the medicine should always be consumed with a cup of some food or a glass of some juice. We would never know whether the medicine did the trick or the avoidance of certain foods or inclusion of some foods or juice or just the placebo, but it worked most of the time. Probably all four played some role.
Plant Based Whole Food (PBWF) (also called by some Whole Food Plant Based) Doctors believe that root cause of all chronic illnesses today is the food we eat and the lifestyle we lead and when we change that, all chronic illnesses disappear.
Our body has evolved, to self heal and when we interfere with that healing process by taking medications to suppress symptoms (which were part of the compensating mechanism) additional complications arise requiring more medications and the dependence on medications keeps on increasing. This puts us in a vicious circle, the end of which is organ failure and death.

Description
Hi krish
Since childhood i feel uncomfortable seeing onions and shallots in dishes
Any alternative to shallots and onion
They are plants
No no alternatives sorry. Unless you want wild green onions or garlic
Yes, our ancestors started eating raw meat in the beginning. Then by accident, fire was discovered and then came cooked meat. Finally to feed more people, we started cultivation. This is truth and noone can escape it. I have no problem with any diet as it varies with tradition, custom and religious belief. But acceptance of truth is key. One little correction, brain got bigger in humans because of SUGAR, protein might my played a role. But SUGAR is mainly responsible for this.
The hypothesis that only meat consumption led to the enlargement of the human brain is often challenged by the observation that carnivorous animals such as lions and tigers do not possess comparatively large brains. Instead, it is the advent of cooking that is believed to have significantly contributed to the development of larger human brains. Cooked food, regardless of whether it is meat or plant-based, enhances nutrient availability. Moreover, while meat may indeed have been more readily accessible and constituted a substantial portion of the ancestral human diet, the practice of cooking calorie-dense foods played a crucial role. Cooking not only improved the bioavailability of nutrients but also provided a high-calorie intake, thereby affording our ancestors the opportunity to allocate more time to the development of tools and the advancement of communication skills.
Dunno what you have been reading the argument is consumption of calorie dense food not if you are carnivores or not. Species with protein consumption (and their ability to catch said protein) is the primary driver in larger brains and intellegence. Thanks for playing. You are the weakest link.
@shelldie8523 weakest link? What is your bench press?
@shelldie8523 The correlation between brain size and intelligence is negligible; rather, cognitive capacity is significantly influenced by the quantity of neurons. Our ancestors' consumption of calorie-dense, cooked, and nutrient-rich foods facilitated an evolutionary advantage by allowing more time to be devoted to skill enhancement and communication. This advancement, in turn, resulted in an increased neuron count across generations.
@@shelldie8523 Species with protein consumption is primary driver for survival dude. All animals eat protein. All animals are made of proteins. The problem here is the assumption that meat played a role in our brain development.
There is no good evidence to suggest that hypothesis, but we do know that glucose is the fuel for brain and carbs rich foods provide good amount of glucose to fuel our brain.
To be specific bone marrows @@Psartz
Brother did a nice work the debate exist for no bloody reason....
Am Just waiting for your video Sir. As always making so much sense! And the ending is just💥
Thank you
Good video.
My thought on term "Non-Vegetarian" / "Non-Veg"
The term "Non-Vegetarian" carries a terminological bias, as it implicitly positions vegetarianism as the default or superior choice. This perspective can feel exclusionary to individuals who consume a combination of meat, plant-based foods, and dairy products.
As an alternative, the following terms could be considered:
1. "Flexitarian" - Those who primarily eat plant-based foods but occasionally consume meat.
2. "Inclusive Vegetarians" - Diet that includes a variety of foods, encompassing both vegetables and meat.
I would really love a conversation between you and Acharya Prashant, it would be really interesting.
Thank you so much for this video😊😊
You’re welcome!
Please help with if soaked water of legumes and lentils should be used or discarded

SIR
I am glad you have released new video
I hope today you will definitly show your PHD or any POST GRADUATION in FOOD SCIENCE
REGARDS
Always learning something new from your videos
Lovely explanation ❤🎉
Dear Krish Ashok . I very much liked your video. The problem is you have put facts which might have been very much inspired by the Darwin theory. The mention of primitive way of living and eating meats quite relates to that theory only. Now the question is we don't have sufficient answers to how life came into existence and we are talking about food habits. Brahma Samhita describes the existence and Manu Samhita describes our food habits. Even Mahabharat talks about vegetarian and non-vegetarian food habits. To put it in a very easy way maximum population used to be vegetarian but there were significant numbers also who were non vegetarian. But those significant numbers were either could be eating cooked food or raw food also. For that we have to refer to what was the area of the most advanced vedic region.
This technical information will probably end the debate
Love your content! Where can I find the sources for this content? I did some research on it and was unable to verify some of the claims in this video. It’d be nice to have the resources for the claims that you made.
I was in a bit of a rush, so will share the book references I used. Mostly it’s neurogastronomy and Catching fire
they were all obviously non vegetarians 🤷 why is this even a question ?
You clearly don’t spend enough time on WhatsApp (and that’s a good thing)
And yes they were all cave dwelling uncouth scavengers. So your point being …
@@krishashok whatsApp pe aisa kuch nhi hota..
Actually, it depends on how far back you look
@@samyakchhajed exactly
Only salad and smoothies. No oil. Thats why they had such amazing hair
To all the vegetarians who think humans have always been eating like that, pls go and search what harrapan people ate

The appeal to nature fallacy posits that practices engaged in by our ancestors should be emulated in contemporary times. However, this assumption is flawed, as it overlooks the significant differences in environmental and societal contexts. Unlike our ancestors who faced limited food availability, modern society enjoys an abundance of resources, rendering such ancestral practices a necessity for survival in their time, but not in ours.

The ending 😂 great
Hehe
Tyvm Sir for this and really enjoyed the ending 😆
Glad you enjoyed it
Great explanation sir.❤
If we collectively stop eating and inject or ingest the required nutrients in the form of medicines will that lead to brain maxxing because of the zero digestion ?
Simply brilliant :D
Thank you
I thought our ancestors' brains became larger because they were scavengers who ate bone marrow from the carcasses discarded by predators like tigers. I think I read this in Sapiens by Y N Harari.
One of many factors, but cooking is a huge factor
That last part about social media 😂👌🏽
Hehe
I misread the thumbnail as "How cooking humans made us" 😭
How come this video ended so quickly? 😂 i was still hooked for more and informative content from you Krish. Keep educating these social media addicts
haha will do!
Do you have a value for the minutes or research to minutes of video length ratio???
Whether going into veg or non veg we must focus on balanced diet where we get good amount of protien
No one could have explained in a simpler way than this. 🎉
Thank you
Very informative and inclusive video😊
Great video as always! Could you suggest some books to read?
Neurogastronomy
Brilliant as usual.. But i was expecting this a long ago..

Our ancestors worried about
Food

Great research. Excellent video. Would love to read up on some of the reference literature you quoted.
Doesn't matter what our ancestors ate, they lived in whole different environment and we are living in a different environment, I think one will understand whats good for them if they are conscious of their self. You won't need all the elaborate articles and videos unless you are lost. Everybody and every circumstances are different, I think one should choose what their gut says don't go based on youtubers.
Ashok videos are very practical
Thank you
Absolutely loved the video please make more such videos
Some Monkeys were vegetarians and homo-sapiens omnivorous, some lazy homo-sapiens were eating monkey foods. Because they are not brave enough to hunt animals but cunning enough fool others.
I m not expert as u r but I in my own small way discovered various aspects 10-15 years ago that u say today like fermented foods I have been advocating it since 15 yrs n I say to eat "baasi roti ' instead of fresh roti as my elders did in 50s n I learnt they r much more healthier
Hi Krish ... Can you please do videos on safe meal prep for the lunch box?
With non veg protein option.
Will do
@krishashok Thank you 😊
Our ancestors might be once (or came from) single cell organism which did not ate non-veg 😂😂😂
Single celled organisms are other cells
*ate

Really didn't understand last part, is that sarcasm or something@@krishashok
@ArnavAryan21 Yes
Being a ex vegetarian for whole childhood ( till age of 19 ) I tell you for sure that for optimal life omnivorous diet is best .
Vegetarianism and veganism is not bad , you can be so for moral and ethical reasons but you must accept biological and medical disadvantages of it .
Problem with vegan is not that they don't eat meat problem is that they think its ' medically better ' not to eat meat and there for give dumb responses for it .
Why do they serve vegetarian meals in hospitals? Why does the cardiologist recommend plant based diets to heart patients? My god you're so educated
@arjunathesage7010 They serve vegetarian meal in hospital because it's less controversial . If they start serving chicken peoples religion would feel ' attacked' .
Even if they serve vegetarian meal along side nonveg , touching food ' with nonveg spoon ' would be controversial 😅😅😅 .
In rest of the world they serve both vegetarian and Normal food .
Secondly no cardiologist recommend veganism if they do it means you need a better one !
Veganism might be moral and ethical in some point but
Indian vegetarianism/veganism is simply religious sentimental phesudoscience elitist bullshit !
@@adityaji2001 what medical disadvantages do I have from not eating meat?
reduced risk of heart attack?
Reduced risk of all cause mortality?
What exactly was that disadvantages of not eating meat including the class 2A carcinogen (Red meat) and Class 1 carcinogen (Processes meat)?
@@ultronde4958 For starters you become dumb enough to think that heart attack and mortality are caused by meat .
There is no authentic study proving claims that meat directly causes heart attack . Except those clearly flawed studies done by vegan themselves .
Secondly high risks of heart attack is because of obesity caused by high calorie intake mainly carb diet like usa which has 30% of population over obesity line yet heart attack risks in vegetarian indians are higher than them !
We are already diabetic capital of world thanks to high carb law protein diet Imagine if obesity rates reach equal those are in usa what will happen ?
there are studies which do show that veganism is indeed medically better in some circumstances for example cancer risk , but sure the difference is marginal and veganism should be preferred firstly for ethical reasons.
What's wrong with eating natural food that rots
nothing wrong
@krishashok I am talking about your last clips in the video
@@user-hq8wm8giyujcg he said nothing wrong & still u want to argue😂😂 he’s not stopping u from eating anything or following “Satvik movement “… why r u so insecure 🤣
@@user-hq8wm8giyujcg He just titilates others who connect food with spirituality. Because he hates spirituality.
Depends on how long we go back,in u look at evolutionary anthropology n biology answers r apparent.
The last part .... EPIC😅
Loved the last part 😅
Hehe
6:03 - “...to be human, is to be a cook.” - krishashok (and my grandma).
Hehe!
Great video with witty humor. Take away- don’t mix food with religion/ belief system.
In India, the biggest reason for vegetarians is religion ,no body think scientific reason too. Fact is that if anybody choose to vegetarian or vegan they need to take care of diet properly to avoid any deficiency.
Comments about the brain rot due to social media at the end was nice. But seeing that Krish is spreading this message using social media gives us some hope for the medium
Definitely humans were nonveg....but hunting any animal is not an easy task...so they used to consume leaf and insects.....cooking was very very late phenomenon....surely once we learned cooking humans body started developing itself.
Obviously non-veg. Humans evolved from hunter-gatherers.
Doesn't matter whether they were or not (as someone with Rajput heritage I'm sure my ancestors have been meat eaters) non veg diet is objectively superior anyway.
Our ancestors were uncivilized also living in Forest in very uncomfortable situation like us they were not living in well planed well devolved with all the facilities and densely populated cities, they were also uneducated did not know meat eating is wrong, but still they were vegetarian most of time Non-veg some time
Dammm delusions lmao..
