I teach Ancient History and I think the Liver King has forgotten the gather part of hunter-gatherer society. His Paleolithic ancestors are probably as confused by him as we are
literally. there are so many ancient societies that rarely if ever ate meat. from what ik, the only communities that subsisted purely on meat were those that lived in frigid climates where plant life was sparce
Also saying “ancestral” is literally so vague😭 like is he basing this a particular time and place? Or is he just basing his whole life off of his stereotyped idea of “cavemen”
Y’all, “our ancestors” did not deprive themselves by choice. If they had the same resources available as we do, there is no way they would choose to sleep on a wooden slab and eat raw meat.
@@Cat-fq3pt Actually no! The average age of people back then was around 45, you’re right, but that didn’t actually mean most people lived to 45! Most people lived to around 80, like us, except a lot of people died as babies, so it brought the average way down. Great English by the way!
@@Brynwyn123 OMG Exactly!!! Meat was extremely hard to come by since you had to actually go out and spend pretty much all day waiting for enough game to come along and then the act of killing it and carrying it back was super difficult as well so....yeah
To be fair, unless you're extremely prone to sunburn, be extremely careful what brand of sunscreen you buy. A surprising amount of them can give you skin cancer. Yes, I get accused of wearing a tin hat regularly for that, however that's no longer a crazy stance since the news has finally acknowledged it as of around a year ago. Sunscreen gives you skin cancer.
Next thing you know he’ll be sunbathing inside a microwave because there wasn’t no puny ozone layer to protect the ancestors (I don’t actually know if there wasn’t an ozone layer when primates emerged, just joking and stuff)
The bed thing kills me every time. Even our ape cousins use a ton of leaves and stuff to sleep comfortably. Our ancestors definitely figured out how to gather grass and make soft places to sleep. Animals with lower intelligence know how to nest and that the hard ground is shitty to lay on hahaha
Romans and Greeks frequently chose to sleep on hard surfaces such as wooden planks. Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Philosopher Emperor, even mentions it briefly in, “Meditations,” and how he is thankful for being encouraged to sleep that way.
@@liberalsrelstupido8349 Yet we still have thousands of years of evidence across cultures of reeds, straw, wool, and other cushion material being used to sleep on. If you like a hard surface, cool, but claiming that all of our ancestors slept like that and that's why you're doing it sounds stupid.
Imagine the luck of being born in a generation with creature comforts like mattresses and climate controlled homes and deciding to just be uncomfortable because of some perceived importance of "ancestry". Your ancestors would call you a dumbass for sleeping on wood.
@@liberalsrelstupido8349 Funny thing is that even then, Liver King didn’t even fully commit to living the Roman/Greek lifestyle for sleep since he added bare minimum cushioning so it’d technically account as “living da ancestral life” lol
The bed thing is so funny to me. Even animals build themselves comfortable nests and 'beds' to rest in. Why does he assume our prehistoric ancestors didn't?
Because his knowledge of "our ancestors" apparently amounts to what he saw from Flintstones cartoons. He also, conveniently, ignores the fact that there's a reason that cultures around the world have feasts/traditions that center around eating an animal, like Thanksgiving. It's because being able to eat a substantial amount of meat had always been a special occasion, during our hunter-gatherer phase as a species. The only real exceptions would be, maybe, peoples that had easy access to abundant fish/seafood.
This is what drives me crazy. We are where we are today because who tf wants to sleep on a big rock. Thats why weve developed things and experimented with ideas. Humans are constantly evolving and trying to make living a little easier. Thats why we create things lmao.
Like does he think indigenous people just throw a slab on the ground and call it a day? Please someone tell this man to take any form of history class/anthropology.
His bed is actually pretty accurate though. My grandparents have a similar bed set up, which is pretty common amongst Indians. Although people from the past didn't just plop themselves down on rocks, they certainly didn't sleep on the huge oversized mattresses of today either.
“They must be careful when choosing milk. They have to be hesitant, because the wrong choice will lead to them choosing a gallon of milk with an early expiration date” 🐅
One of the most dangerous places in the grocery store was the Deli section. This would force our ancestors to interact with competing families, and if resources were limited it may lead to a fight that would end in both parties going without food. We have recorded accounts of a similar event happening on a global scale during the Covid-19 pandemic
@@TRlabel i was literally implying that people on the internet (including myself) are very dumb sometimes and fall for obvious scams. if grown adults can't spot scams and catfishing, 11 year olds definitely can't
As a historian, this is hilariously ahistorical. I assume he's aiming for like pre-history humans, but also the amount of meat he eats, the wooden uncomfortable bed. It's just funny
I was just going to say the same! Why do these paleo people always miss the gathering part of hunter gatherers? Besides, having dairy products means domesticated cows. Imo most of his diet should be plant based, then fish and other easily obtainable proteins.
I just love how completely wrong it is....prehistoric, and pre-agricultural human diet was primarily starchy roots. Yes they ate meat, but not every day. Most fruits that we have today did not exist back then, they were spread globally (meaning they would be inaccessible) and are seasonal, often only being able to be found for a week or two for each species. Conversely, root vegetables are abundant across the globe in many forms in each region. A big starchy root is a very successful evolutionary adaptation. So they are abundant, calorically and nutritionally significant, and accessible year round. Eat your veggies kids, and don't take the naughty sauce.
They also cooked the meat meat, cooking killer off harmful bacteria and parasites for at least the last two million years. Homo Erectus conquered fire millions of years ago. Cooking made food easier to digest as well allowing for us to have bigger brains…now we’re going in reverse.
Seriously like…if you showed his videos to someone 2000 years ago they’d be so confused on why he’s not cooking his meat with fire, how the fuck he’s so muscular(steroids), why he doesn’t eat fruits/veggies, and why he CHOOSES to sleep on a wood box💀
Right? I'm presuming he's living in that modern house....with a fridge and freezer, and multiple rooms, and upholstery made of man made fabrics, an indoor bathroom, windows with panes... Yeah, he's LARPing living in the past. If he was actually living in, say, the Bronze Age, he would be cryyyying xD
People like this always underestimate how many vegetables ancient humans ate. They're always like "mm yes meat" when our real ancestors were eating every wild plant they could possibly find.
Literally though. A lot of human diets through history were mostly vegetarian. Eating a lot of meat in ancient times was a sign of major wealth and privilege.
He needs the true ancient diet: using up all your energy failing to hunt with a crappy spear, starving for days in the winter and accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms.
@@voluntaryismistheanswer carbon is in all living matter (both plant and animal), so carbon dating wouldn't be a problem when archeologist come across ancient preserved veggies and fruits. But there's plenty of evidence that indicate ancient humans ate plants, just like meat. Usually the remains of these plants are found buried in baskets or preserved in the mud of archeological dig sites. Not to mention, agriculture itself is an amazing testament to relationship between plants and humans! Wild corn looks completely different to your standard domesticated corn for example.
Exactly. I was thinking he "has a disdain for technology", but then how would everyone else know how buff, strong, weird, and cool he is with his abnormal lifestyle?
Fun fact: when the liver king mentions your "skin biome", what he means is the normal bacteria that just chill out on your skin. If you've ever heard of your microbiome in your gut (referring to the normal bacteria that help with digestion), your skin biome is like that but on your skin Edit: in case there is any confusion, your gut microbiome and your skin microbiome do two different things. I was just making the comparison to help explain what a biome, or rather microbiome, is.
Hey Danny, just to let you know I noticed some potential goofing-around directly after you finished telling us about your strict no-goofing-around new years resolution. I thought you might wanna hear about this incase you were unaware. We're here for you man, stay strong!
As someone who is an anthropology major, it shocks me as to how little research liver king put into the Basis for his entire lifestyle…like literally every single thing he says can be easily disproven with just a tiny bit of prehistorical research…
Same! Although I am a mechanical engineer and I have no knowledge about anything that even comes close to fitness and human anatomy, he looks better than me so I'm mad
Early humans: we eat bread, honey, and COOKED meat. This guy: RAW FLESH........ And several million dollar home, jet skis, and fully automatic rifles JUST LIKE OUR ANCESTORS!!
Yeah and the earliest humans had hunter gatherer societies and most of their food was gathered because hunts often failed and didn’t always bring back food at all much less enough for everyone to live entirely off it, so he’s literally just wrong
@@sleepysera That's going back about two million years. Those guys were not really the "humanity" we are today in evolutionary terms, which means that our effective ancestors never primarily ate uncooked meat.
Liver King: I'll sleep like early humans... on as hard a surface as possible Early humans: **used grass and ash to make a soft "carpet", and interwove medicinal plants into it to act as an insect repellent**

It's so funny when "primal" or "return to the ancestors" weirdos are buff as hell like actual ancestors wouldn't have been skinny as hell and able to run for a bazzillion miles while eating mostly plants.
"return to ancestors" is not difficult to imitate, considering all the indigenous people who still live like they used to all the way back 2000-3000 years ago. None of them look like the poster child for roid rage.
The only “ancestral group” that subsisted on a mostly meat-based diet (that I can think of) were the Inuit, Yupik, and other indigenous groups of northern Canada. They’re a fascinating exception in that, over a long period of time, they developed a unique gut microbiome that allowed them to digest raw meat more efficiently than other groups.
I think there is something similar like that for people whose ancestors relied heavily on dairy products like hard cheesees and milk. Most people are somewhat lactose intolerant, but people with that background almost need at least a little bit of it. This kind of stuff is really interesting, it sucks that dudes like this ultimately wind up discouraging people from looking into it.
@@psychotophatcat basically if you have mostly British Isles, Nordic etc ancestry, lactose does absolutely nothing to you. As one of those people, it's great, I can have dairy with no consequences
@croaker I don’t think you know what subsistence means in this context… it just means to survive/feed yourself. Like subsistence agriculture means feeding yourself by farming (and was what most people did for most of the last several thousand years)
@croaker Homo Sapiens have always been omnivores. Other species of Homo- might have been less omnivorous, but none have ever been “hypercarnivores”. That’s simply impossible. Even obligate carnivore species like cats (big and small) sometimes eat vegetation to settle their stomachs. And there’s still plant life in even the driest regions of the world. The unspecified “tribes” you mention also forage and farm. Roots, legumes, and squash are very common in many Central African dishes. There’s a reason pre-historic humans lived in hunter-GATHERER societies. Hunting was unreliable; success wasn’t guaranteed. Foraging was almost always successful.
@croaker yes, gathering was a fallback when hunting was unsuccessful; I’m not disputing that. The primary source of protein and vitamin B12 in the human diet has always derived from meat and animal products. B12 is an absolute necessity in our diet, so I don’t disagree at all that humans have evolved to eat meat. My original comment was specifically addressing the eating of _raw_ seal/whale meat in humans from between 15,000-10,000 years ago. Compared to 3-5 MYA, our stomachs (and subsequent pH levels) evolved out of the ability to _efficiently_ digest raw meat - other than very fresh fish and beef. Cooked, dried, pickled, and spiced meat keeps for far longer than raw meat - especially in warmer climates (which is why spicy food is seen more often in civilizations closer to the equator). Before the advent of preservation methods, I don’t doubt that humans and our anthropological ancestors were closer to scavengers. I don’t think we’re in disagreement about anything. We’re just thinking of different time periods.
For anyone curious, "biological dentistry" is the self-appointed name for people who perform dentistry according to "holistic" aka non-scientific medical doctrine, to make it sound like actual science.
@@phantomkate6 I'd say the most reliable way is to wait until your dentist peers into your mouth, then swiftly swing your arms around their head and feel for the off switch
okay, as much as I dislike the liver kunt, i might hate his wife even more. I cant stand it when misinformed people put themselves at the same level as ACTUAL medical professionals
I feel like these people that want to live “ancestral” think early humans had strict rules when they were literally just trying to survive. You can bet your ass if you gave early humans a memory foam mattress they would be so happy.
This dude seems to just want to live the stereotype of our “ancestors” or like a movie version of cavemen then what they actually did back then. It’s like a mix of some facts and mostly fiction
Obviously. He is the product of technology like any other modern human. There is an implication that what is natural for us to eat is healthy but there is no real reason for that assumption to be the default position. We are unnatural and live longer.
I took “biological dentist” as, his wife was born a dentist and has the typical chromosomes. Cisdentist. As opposed to being ADAB (assigned dentist at birth) but identifying as transdentist
this guy talking about his “skin biome” is like when my dad and brother talk to me about how they’re strengthening their immune system by eating stuff that’s out of date or not washing their hands
The future for your dad - Doctor: sir, you strengthened your immune system too much, you now have an autoimmune disease. If only you hadn’t challenged it so much!
Yee what your dad and bro do is nonsense I'm much smarter than that I use the "immunity system strengthening" excuse to not wear more clothes when it's cold when my mom tells me to
That would be beneficial if their immune systems were still...y'know, developing. Not really gonna do much for them now except give them a stomachache.
Honestly I'd vibe with this dude way more if he lived in a house made of wood and cobblestone and had a dirt floor and if he only hunted with a spear he doesn't go all in and I think he's weak for that
He also seemed to scoff at the idea of vegetables, which our early ancestors would definitely would have eaten if they found them (same with fruit). That’s the “gatherer” part of hunter-gatherers.
seriously! it's so infuriating how he picks and chooses what counts as "ancestral". he presumably still uses air conditioning/central heating, indoor plumbing, guns, testosterone steroids, etc... but noooo, his meat has to be eaten RAW, of course our "ancestors" couldn't use fire to cook food 🙄
So does Liver King refer to the way of life of Hunter-Gatherers as the ancestral lifestyle? If so, should someone tell him that the ancestral lifestyle likely contained more fruits and plants than meat because hunting was a nightmare, which means he's doing it all wrong?
For those unfamiliar with fitness and nutrition: 1. The man is 100% guaranteed on steroids (which wouldnt be a problem if he'd be open about it instead of attesting his physique purely to his insane diets, lifestyle and most importantly obsolete, overpriced supplements etc) 2. In contrast to what he claims, consuming large amounts of liver can be a major health risk, particularly Hypervitaminosis A comes to mind 3. This should go without saying but consuming raw animal parts is also a large risk and will eventually give you parasites and food poisoning, the reason something like beef tartar can be consumed raw is because in the case of beef, most pathogens are found on the outer layer of the meat due to contaminations in the slaughterhouse (this is also why you shouldnt eat burger patties rare) I think his content is great to make fun of but its scary to think that someone might believe his horrible advice.
I’m really concerned about the fact that he’s seemingly feeding his kids raw meat and no vegetables as well. And potentially convincing other parents to feed their children that way.
I'm very curious if this man's kids have MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome). When you have MCAS your body is on constant high alert, and floods your body with mast cells/histamine (hello allergic reactions) at the most mundane triggers. If Liver King's kids really did/do have MCAS, antihistamines like the ones the docs prescribed would have helped, but reducing the histamine in his kids' diet could also have made a big difference. Funnily enough, freshly-caught meat is very low in histamine, as are various fresh plants (a lot of processed foods are high in histamine or the preservatives can trigger allergic reactions). If this isn't all some kind of elaborate bit, then this guy is certainly off his rocker...but he may have accidentally stumbled upon a viable treatment for his kids' illness 🤔(ASSUMING THE MEAT IS COOKED LMAO)
The treatments he said doctors were proposing seem very much like normal allergy treatments though? You get that reccomendation if you're severely allergic to even one thing. I think it would be hard to distinguish between MCAS and just having a kid with like dairy, gluten, egg, and fish allergies that they're likely to grow out of, just given the information we have (people tend to exaggerate and enough of the 8 main allergies would sure seem like 'being allergic to everything'). It's an interesting thought in relation to MCAS and a possible, albeit weird and miserable, treatment though
I was just about to comment this myself. I have MCAS and to an extent the whole...low histamine diet recommendation does sound familiar in some ways. The thing I was most puzzled by was the Epi Pens he mentioned, but I know some really severe MCAS can cause anaphylaxis so that could be what those were prescribed for. The other allergy medicine does just seem like standard antihistamine, which is all I was prescribed so...ahh, who knows honestly 😅
@@allbymyshelf4125 Allergy medication are antihistamines. They may not do a whole lot when you think about it surface level. I have mild allergies, but I also have high histamine that causes a skin disorder and by taking my allergy medication (antihistamines) they stop most but one symptom from happening. Histamine is very weird and the general allergy pill would be the best for a kid to take.
Yepp ! We have multiple microbiomes in our bodies. Our skin, our mouth, our armpits, our gut, this “Liver King” does say some true things but it’s so hard to take him seriously when everything else he says is so insane, illogical or inaccurate.
He's talking about when humans' life expectancy was 60 due to poor hygiene, diet, and exercise. Rarely anyone today is dying of Tuberculosis and the Bubonic Plague. 😂
The theory is that the first humans would have had to hunt every day and train their bodies to the peak of human condition to be able to live and be successful. What they don't understand is that humans, unlike animals, have always thrived through superior intelligence and not strength.
youre right but its just called nature lol. not everything is perfect and lives a full healthy life. every organism has parasites, diseases, mutations or adaptions, injuries, climate change, etc that can change or end its lifespan. humans are still animals.
I feel kind of bad for his kids. I get being allergic to a shit ton of stuff, but eating raw meat..... uhhhhh no. Also, Danny, there are things living on our skin.
His wife calls him "the Bear" because I'm sure she secretly hates being called "Liver Queen" Anyways evolutionary biologist Marlene Zuk has a great book debunking these "paleo" people called "Paleofantasy", dismantling these people's arguments about what "ancestral humans" did and why it's actually not great for you. Also, the fact he has no idea what EMF waves actually are or how they work is hilarious to me. As someone with severe allergies, though, I'm worried for those poor kids.
Don't feel too bad. A lot of these online health people are full of shit & actually aren't dragging their kid's health down with there's. Probably why he dod.t have anything on the kid's plate.
@@mimi-fm7hz What do people think happened when hunting either didn’t go well or there was nothing to hunt? They just ignored all the plants they could eat and say “No, meat or starve”
yeah, I am not an archaeologist, just vegan, and I know this😂 its funny to me every time people act as if a diet consistent of mostly meat makes sense for humans
I feel that it's necessary to mention for those people who are not into fitness that Liver King is 100% enhanced. The amount of muscle mass he has (like, Mr. Olympia level) indicates that he's using dangerously high levels of PEDs. Steroids and other PEDs also wreak absolute havoc on your cardiovascular health, which is likely why he sounds like he's out of breath all the time. So suffice it to say that his projection of healthy living is very contradictory to how he treats his body. All in all he's just another dime a dozen fitness influencer who tries to sell his products using his "ancestral living" shtick as a unique selling proposition, which is funny considering that, from what he shows in his videos, his training involves a lot of barbells and other modern gym equipment.
Was just about to comment about the constant heavy breathing, like, that's not natural healthy way for a person to be when they're just standing and talking and you definitely hear stuff and see news about bodybuilders all the time who've had to actually stop exercise and wean themselves off of all the steroids or they'd not survive a month longer.
Yeah it is depressing to be in the position of defending Steroid King but he at least has a grasp on nutrition (I'll still take my Rocky mountain oysters cooked, lol)
This guy clearly doesn’t know that humans, homosapiens, are omnivores. His wife’s a fucking dentist. In 2 seconds she can show him what teeth are for meat and vegetables/fruits/nuts/etc
If we couldn't eat meat we would choke on every piece . Does he eat too much meat probably but humans can eat vegetables and meat were a different species
If you want to eat like your ancestors just don't eat processed crap hunt for your food and farm. Why spend all this money on supplements when you can get that from veggies and fruit. I mean eat what you want, I just find their lifestyle more of a statement piece than a reasonable sustainable lifestyle for an average person.
Also, he’s saying that he’s “honoring his ancestors”, but I can’t imagine anything more disrespectful than ignoring all of the technological advances that have led to a longer lifespan. Like, your “ancestors” would have probably loved to have a 70+ year lifespan in a house with electricity and a safe way to prepare food…
When he says "skin biome" he's referring to the BACTERIA living on your skin. It's a real thing, you just don't really need to do any upkeep on it like he's saying or bathe in pine needles.

Ah yes I remember when I heard all the stories about how my ancestors got jacked up on steroids and barley edible food while filming tiktoks in their modern mansions. Just glad someone is keeping the traditions alive.
The way he's crying... It's okay man, you can still be the liver king and cry. We all cry. Okay, so I just said it's okay. But yet, every time I hear him make noises like he's crying, I crack up.
Yeah lmao. I dunno why people think when someone says 'natural' or 'ancestrial' then it is destined to work but you can literally sell anything with those buzzwords. Even if the seller is the most artificial human being to ever exist. You can say 'ancestrial' but that ain't gonna hide your bubble gut. (For the record, I don't care if you use 'roids. I am aware that they aren't magic substances and you still have to work real hard to look like this dude. But I hate when they are not transparent about it)
pretty sure science has proven that one of the essentials for our brain development was learning to cook meat. without cooked meat humans wouldnt have even evolved into humans in the first place.
Yep, we cooked our food. Often we overcooked it or dried it like salt drying to preserve it. With no freezer or fridge raw was not an option it wouldn't last long enough. This guy is just 🙃stupid 🙃
It's funny how he claims to live "the ancestral lifestyle" by eating raw meat, when humans evolved as we did in the first place by cooking our meat. Insane.
The oldest known mattress in history dates back to 77,000 years ago, and was found in the Sibudu Cave in KwaZulu-Natal in Africa. The mattress was composed of layers of reeds and rushes, discovered at the bottom of a pile of compacted grasses and leafy plants used as bedding. This bedding was periodically burned, which researchers believe was meant to limit pests and garbage

Scurvy is likely but it’s actually possible to avoid scurvy if you eat the right offals and cook it on the rare side.

Y’all, “our ancestors” did not deprive themselves by choice. If they had the same resources available as we do, there is no way they would choose to sleep on a wooden slab and eat raw meat.
Exactly. Didn't they usually live to the age of 45 too? (English isnt my first language so if the sentence is weird sorry)
They also started eating grains pretty early and started out from the beginning eating mostly fruit, seeds, starchy roots etc with only some meat.
@@Cat-fq3pt that sentence was perfect! and also, you are right
@@Cat-fq3pt Actually no! The average age of people back then was around 45, you’re right, but that didn’t actually mean most people lived to 45! Most people lived to around 80, like us, except a lot of people died as babies, so it brought the average way down.
Great English by the way!

Well it's actually not as bad as it sounds
The bed thing kills me every time. Even our ape cousins use a ton of leaves and stuff to sleep comfortably. Our ancestors definitely figured out how to gather grass and make soft places to sleep. Animals with lower intelligence know how to nest and that the hard ground is shitty to lay on hahaha
Romans and Greeks frequently chose to sleep on hard surfaces such as wooden planks.
Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Philosopher Emperor, even mentions it briefly in, “Meditations,” and how he is thankful for being encouraged to sleep that way.
Dude right like even fckn tiny-brained birds make nests. That is like one of the main things they do, their brains are just like EAT MATE NEST
@@liberalsrelstupido8349 Yet we still have thousands of years of evidence across cultures of reeds, straw, wool, and other cushion material being used to sleep on.
If you like a hard surface, cool, but claiming that all of our ancestors slept like that and that's why you're doing it sounds stupid.
Imagine the luck of being born in a generation with creature comforts like mattresses and climate controlled homes and deciding to just be uncomfortable because of some perceived importance of "ancestry". Your ancestors would call you a dumbass for sleeping on wood.
@@liberalsrelstupido8349 Funny thing is that even then, Liver King didn’t even fully commit to living the Roman/Greek lifestyle for sleep since he added bare minimum cushioning so it’d technically account as “living da ancestral life” lol
The bed thing is so funny to me. Even animals build themselves comfortable nests and 'beds' to rest in. Why does he assume our prehistoric ancestors didn't?
Because his knowledge of "our ancestors" apparently amounts to what he saw from Flintstones cartoons.
He also, conveniently, ignores the fact that there's a reason that cultures around the world have feasts/traditions that center around eating an animal, like Thanksgiving.
It's because being able to eat a substantial amount of meat had always been a special occasion, during our hunter-gatherer phase as a species.
The only real exceptions would be, maybe, peoples that had easy access to abundant fish/seafood.
This is what drives me crazy. We are where we are today because who tf wants to sleep on a big rock. Thats why weve developed things and experimented with ideas. Humans are constantly evolving and trying to make living a little easier. Thats why we create things lmao.
Like does he think indigenous people just throw a slab on the ground and call it a day? Please someone tell this man to take any form of history class/anthropology.
Or you know cook food
His bed is actually pretty accurate though. My grandparents have a similar bed set up, which is pretty common amongst Indians. Although people from the past didn't just plop themselves down on rocks, they certainly didn't sleep on the huge oversized mattresses of today either.
Imagine in 200 years people like him will be doing simulated grocery runs
“They must be careful when choosing milk. They have to be hesitant, because the wrong choice will lead to them choosing a gallon of milk with an early expiration date” 🐅
One of the most dangerous places in the grocery store was the Deli section. This would force our ancestors to interact with competing families, and if resources were limited it may lead to a fight that would end in both parties going without food. We have recorded accounts of a similar event happening on a global scale during the Covid-19 pandemic

I was just going to say the same! Why do these paleo people always miss the gathering part of hunter gatherers? Besides, having dairy products means domesticated cows. Imo most of his diet should be plant based, then fish and other easily obtainable proteins.
@@elainelouve i think he’s modern ancestral😂😂
I just love how completely wrong it is....prehistoric, and pre-agricultural human diet was primarily starchy roots.
Yes they ate meat, but not every day. Most fruits that we have today did not exist back then, they were spread globally (meaning they would be inaccessible) and are seasonal, often only being able to be found for a week or two for each species.
Conversely, root vegetables are abundant across the globe in many forms in each region. A big starchy root is a very successful evolutionary adaptation. So they are abundant, calorically and nutritionally significant, and accessible year round.
Eat your veggies kids, and don't take the naughty sauce.
They also cooked the meat meat, cooking killer off harmful bacteria and parasites for at least the last two million years. Homo Erectus conquered fire millions of years ago. Cooking made food easier to digest as well allowing for us to have bigger brains…now we’re going in reverse.

People like this always underestimate how many vegetables ancient humans ate. They're always like "mm yes meat" when our real ancestors were eating every wild plant they could possibly find.
Literally though. A lot of human diets through history were mostly vegetarian. Eating a lot of meat in ancient times was a sign of major wealth and privilege.
For some reason this comment made me crave salad
He needs the true ancient diet: using up all your energy failing to hunt with a crappy spear, starving for days in the winter and accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms.
Yeah, for most of human history most people couldn't afford to eat meat everyday
They ate everything they could including every living animal they could mange to kill not just plants

@@voluntaryismistheanswer carbon is in all living matter (both plant and animal), so carbon dating wouldn't be a problem when archeologist come across ancient preserved veggies and fruits. But there's plenty of evidence that indicate ancient humans ate plants, just like meat. Usually the remains of these plants are found buried in baskets or preserved in the mud of archeological dig sites. Not to mention, agriculture itself is an amazing testament to relationship between plants and humans! Wild corn looks completely different to your standard domesticated corn for example.

The only “ancestral group” that subsisted on a mostly meat-based diet (that I can think of) were the Inuit, Yupik, and other indigenous groups of northern Canada. They’re a fascinating exception in that, over a long period of time, they developed a unique gut microbiome that allowed them to digest raw meat more efficiently than other groups.
I think there is something similar like that for people whose ancestors relied heavily on dairy products like hard cheesees and milk. Most people are somewhat lactose intolerant, but people with that background almost need at least a little bit of it. This kind of stuff is really interesting, it sucks that dudes like this ultimately wind up discouraging people from looking into it.
@@psychotophatcat basically if you have mostly British Isles, Nordic etc ancestry, lactose does absolutely nothing to you.
As one of those people, it's great, I can have dairy with no consequences
@croaker I don’t think you know what subsistence means in this context… it just means to survive/feed yourself. Like subsistence agriculture means feeding yourself by farming (and was what most people did for most of the last several thousand years)
@croaker Homo Sapiens have always been omnivores. Other species of Homo- might have been less omnivorous, but none have ever been “hypercarnivores”. That’s simply impossible. Even obligate carnivore species like cats (big and small) sometimes eat vegetation to settle their stomachs.
And there’s still plant life in even the driest regions of the world. The unspecified “tribes” you mention also forage and farm. Roots, legumes, and squash are very common in many Central African dishes. There’s a reason pre-historic humans lived in hunter-GATHERER societies. Hunting was unreliable; success wasn’t guaranteed. Foraging was almost always successful.
@croaker yes, gathering was a fallback when hunting was unsuccessful; I’m not disputing that. The primary source of protein and vitamin B12 in the human diet has always derived from meat and animal products. B12 is an absolute necessity in our diet, so I don’t disagree at all that humans have evolved to eat meat.
My original comment was specifically addressing the eating of _raw_ seal/whale meat in humans from between 15,000-10,000 years ago. Compared to 3-5 MYA, our stomachs (and subsequent pH levels) evolved out of the ability to _efficiently_ digest raw meat - other than very fresh fish and beef. Cooked, dried, pickled, and spiced meat keeps for far longer than raw meat - especially in warmer climates (which is why spicy food is seen more often in civilizations closer to the equator). Before the advent of preservation methods, I don’t doubt that humans and our anthropological ancestors were closer to scavengers.
I don’t think we’re in disagreement about anything. We’re just thinking of different time periods.

Honestly I'd vibe with this dude way more if he lived in a house made of wood and cobblestone and had a dirt floor and if he only hunted with a spear he doesn't go all in and I think he's weak for that
This comment is so powerful
He also seemed to scoff at the idea of vegetables, which our early ancestors would definitely would have eaten if they found them (same with fruit). That’s the “gatherer” part of hunter-gatherers.
seriously! it's so infuriating how he picks and chooses what counts as "ancestral". he presumably still uses air conditioning/central heating, indoor plumbing, guns, testosterone steroids, etc... but noooo, his meat has to be eaten RAW, of course our "ancestors" couldn't use fire to cook food 🙄
Ikr!! I was just thinking like where's the hay mattress 😡 why would u sleep on a wood plank like what ancestor slept on planks?? Prisoners??? 😂😂
Primitive Technology type vibe.
I can’t believe you glossed over the “simulating a failed hunt” joke, I had to pause to cry laugh for a good 5 minutes
ikr that one was so good lmao
Who are you talking to
That was good. Got me. 😂😂😂👍

I like how he implies that children with allergies can’t be good at academia or sports
children with allergies simply do not thrive,,,,
as someone who's allergic to dust, yes indeed I'm not good at academic and sports.
As someone who is allergic to almost everything, I can confirm that I am not good at academics nor good at sports
@@artsintheam okay but same
I mean probably not as good but it doesn't mean they cant lol
Are you here because you watched the lying king and now you gotta rewatch this one
yeah
Si
So does Liver King refer to the way of life of Hunter-Gatherers as the ancestral lifestyle? If so, should someone tell him that the ancestral lifestyle likely contained more fruits and plants than meat because hunting was a nightmare, which means he's doing it all wrong?
That, AND, he wastes an inordinate amount of energy. No ancient human would have wanted that much muscle mass to maintain.
"Ancestral life" is like over thousands of years ago, I think he is talking about like ancient warriors
I also don't know why he sleeps in a house made of bricks and use a car. I'm pretty sure our ancestors didn't
@@janinatomczyk2116 exactly!! The real issues being tackled in this comment section.
I was thinking about this too! Like most of our ancestors didn't eat a ton of meat, it was expensive or hard to get.
For those unfamiliar with fitness and nutrition:
1. The man is 100% guaranteed on steroids (which wouldnt be a problem if he'd be open about it instead of attesting his physique purely to his insane diets, lifestyle and most importantly obsolete, overpriced supplements etc)
2. In contrast to what he claims, consuming large amounts of liver can be a major health risk, particularly Hypervitaminosis A comes to mind
3. This should go without saying but consuming raw animal parts is also a large risk and will eventually give you parasites and food poisoning, the reason something like beef tartar can be consumed raw is because in the case of beef, most pathogens are found on the outer layer of the meat due to contaminations in the slaughterhouse (this is also why you shouldnt eat burger patties rare)
I think his content is great to make fun of but its scary to think that someone might believe his horrible advice.
I think it's hilarious that they're scared of phone radiation, but is fine with taking gear to look unnaturally big
Educational comment thank you
I’m really concerned about the fact that he’s seemingly feeding his kids raw meat and no vegetables as well. And potentially convincing other parents to feed their children that way.
He isnt on steroids
@@charli3mors3 There’s no possible way that he’s at least 40 years old and looks like that with his insane diet and exercise.
My name is Brian and this honestly felt like Danny was talking to me personally, being that I’m always crying and working out too
Aw brian

Same Brian same, although my name isn't Brian. But i feel you man
9:57 I know this is an old video, but..
*THE LITERAL EARTH GENERATES A MAGNETIC FIELD*
I'm very curious if this man's kids have MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome). When you have MCAS your body is on constant high alert, and floods your body with mast cells/histamine (hello allergic reactions) at the most mundane triggers. If Liver King's kids really did/do have MCAS, antihistamines like the ones the docs prescribed would have helped, but reducing the histamine in his kids' diet could also have made a big difference. Funnily enough, freshly-caught meat is very low in histamine, as are various fresh plants (a lot of processed foods are high in histamine or the preservatives can trigger allergic reactions). If this isn't all some kind of elaborate bit, then this guy is certainly off his rocker...but he may have accidentally stumbled upon a viable treatment for his kids' illness 🤔(ASSUMING THE MEAT IS COOKED LMAO)
The treatments he said doctors were proposing seem very much like normal allergy treatments though? You get that reccomendation if you're severely allergic to even one thing. I think it would be hard to distinguish between MCAS and just having a kid with like dairy, gluten, egg, and fish allergies that they're likely to grow out of, just given the information we have (people tend to exaggerate and enough of the 8 main allergies would sure seem like 'being allergic to everything'). It's an interesting thought in relation to MCAS and a possible, albeit weird and miserable, treatment though
I was just about to comment this myself. I have MCAS and to an extent the whole...low histamine diet recommendation does sound familiar in some ways.
The thing I was most puzzled by was the Epi Pens he mentioned, but I know some really severe MCAS can cause anaphylaxis so that could be what those were prescribed for. The other allergy medicine does just seem like standard antihistamine, which is all I was prescribed so...ahh, who knows honestly 😅
You don't like sashimi and carpaccio and salami? Ok lol, but I'll temper the costillas I'm eating now with some raw this and that.
@@allbymyshelf4125 Allergy medication are antihistamines. They may not do a whole lot when you think about it surface level. I have mild allergies, but I also have high histamine that causes a skin disorder and by taking my allergy medication (antihistamines) they stop most but one symptom from happening. Histamine is very weird and the general allergy pill would be the best for a kid to take.
I WAS THINKING MCAS I probably have mcas (being evaluated soon) and it set off alarm bells for me too
Danny (jokingly): does that mean I have stuff living on my skin
Millions of microscopic dust mites: Allow is to introduce ourselves

@@nowayitsjohnstamos it throws me into a John Green-style spiral every time
Yepp ! We have multiple microbiomes in our bodies. Our skin, our mouth, our armpits, our gut, this “Liver King” does say some true things but it’s so hard to take him seriously when everything else he says is so insane, illogical or inaccurate.
I've been looking for a comment like this
Was there ever a point in history where humans were unanimously healthy? I feel like we’ve always had something that was bad for us 💀
When he’s talking about especially we literally evolved to have something sort out all the dirt and rocks we ate with our food.
He's talking about when humans' life expectancy was 60 due to poor hygiene, diet, and exercise. Rarely anyone today is dying of Tuberculosis and the Bubonic Plague. 😂
The theory is that the first humans would have had to hunt every day and train their bodies to the peak of human condition to be able to live and be successful. What they don't understand is that humans, unlike animals, have always thrived through superior intelligence and not strength.
No. We are always dumb. Remember blood letting?
youre right but its just called nature lol. not everything is perfect and lives a full healthy life. every organism has parasites, diseases, mutations or adaptions, injuries, climate change, etc that can change or end its lifespan. humans are still animals.
I can't stop audibly laughing like so hard oh my god ten sets of weeping
I feel kind of bad for his kids. I get being allergic to a shit ton of stuff, but eating raw meat..... uhhhhh no.
Also, Danny, there are things living on our skin.
I would hope to god he would know that, or he just magically turned into the guy he makes fun of in his videos lol
without context that second line sounds so ominous
@loveutill theendoftimes not literally but salmonella is often in raw chicken and bacteria breeds on raw meat 👍
Danny has never heard of bacteria
Bacteria, mostly. The human bodies relies on a ton of micro-organisms to keep everything in balance, be it on the inside or the outside.
His wife calls him "the Bear" because I'm sure she secretly hates being called "Liver Queen"
Anyways evolutionary biologist Marlene Zuk has a great book debunking these "paleo" people called "Paleofantasy", dismantling these people's arguments about what "ancestral humans" did and why it's actually not great for you. Also, the fact he has no idea what EMF waves actually are or how they work is hilarious to me.
As someone with severe allergies, though, I'm worried for those poor kids.
Don't feel too bad. A lot of these online health people are full of shit & actually aren't dragging their kid's health down with there's. Probably why he dod.t have anything on the kid's plate.
im an archaeology student and the notion men have that prehistoric people only ate meat is so funny. the majority of their diets consisted of plants.
i don’t eat meat or dairy and i always have to hold my tongue when people tell me i live unnaturally 😭
@@mimi-fm7hz dude same lmao
@@mimi-fm7hz What do people think happened when hunting either didn’t go well or there was nothing to hunt? They just ignored all the plants they could eat and say “No, meat or starve”
exactly, did they think people were out hunting every day? It would take weeks for a hunt to happen. Red meat was eaten every 2 to 3 weeks.
yeah, I am not an archaeologist, just vegan, and I know this😂 its funny to me every time people act as if a diet consistent of mostly meat makes sense for humans
13:05 DANNY'S LOOK OF PANIC AND CONCERN 😭
I feel that it's necessary to mention for those people who are not into fitness that Liver King is 100% enhanced. The amount of muscle mass he has (like, Mr. Olympia level) indicates that he's using dangerously high levels of PEDs. Steroids and other PEDs also wreak absolute havoc on your cardiovascular health, which is likely why he sounds like he's out of breath all the time. So suffice it to say that his projection of healthy living is very contradictory to how he treats his body.
All in all he's just another dime a dozen fitness influencer who tries to sell his products using his "ancestral living" shtick as a unique selling proposition, which is funny considering that, from what he shows in his videos, his training involves a lot of barbells and other modern gym equipment.
Dude's sauced to the gills for sure.
Steroids and a diet that consists mostly of meat… I hope for his and his family’s sake that he’s not setting himself up for heart disease.
Nuh uh he said he was natty. He certainly isn't lying on the internet for clicks and money.
Was just about to comment about the constant heavy breathing, like, that's not natural healthy way for a person to be when they're just standing and talking and you definitely hear stuff and see news about bodybuilders all the time who've had to actually stop exercise and wean themselves off of all the steroids or they'd not survive a month longer.
Yeah it is depressing to be in the position of defending Steroid King but he at least has a grasp on nutrition (I'll still take my Rocky mountain oysters cooked, lol)
This guy clearly doesn’t know that humans, homosapiens, are omnivores. His wife’s a fucking dentist. In 2 seconds she can show him what teeth are for meat and vegetables/fruits/nuts/etc
She’s a biological dentist which isn’t based in science or reliable, she’s not a _real_ dentist. It’s pseudoscience.
If we couldn't eat meat we would choke on every piece . Does he eat too much meat probably but humans can eat vegetables and meat were a different species
@@travisallison2 its not whether you can or can't eat meat, just that eating only meat or mostly meat isnt exactly the healthiest way to live.
@@beelzemobabbity I totally agree with what you're saying. Having a Balanced diet with veggies fruits and meats is ideal
If you want to eat like your ancestors just don't eat processed crap hunt for your food and farm. Why spend all this money on supplements when you can get that from veggies and fruit. I mean eat what you want, I just find their lifestyle more of a statement piece than a reasonable sustainable lifestyle for an average person.
Also, he’s saying that he’s “honoring his ancestors”, but I can’t imagine anything more disrespectful than ignoring all of the technological advances that have led to a longer lifespan. Like, your “ancestors” would have probably loved to have a 70+ year lifespan in a house with electricity and a safe way to prepare food…

When he says "skin biome" he's referring to the BACTERIA living on your skin. It's a real thing, you just don't really need to do any upkeep on it like he's saying or bathe in pine needles.

@Mbita Acoustic Guitar the best way to reach 50k would just be to upload more, already being at 19k is really good, especially for a channel doing guitar covers, but asking for subs in replies wont really grow your channel.

i have been following the liver king for a long time he is the greatest man alive
Ah yes I remember when I heard all the stories about how my ancestors got jacked up on steroids and barley edible food while filming tiktoks in their modern mansions. Just glad someone is keeping the traditions alive.
It’s so sad that most of us are so detached from our primal way of living in a mansion with a pew
@@DiMagnolia totally most people now live in normal houses or apartments, shame no one is sticking to our primal mansion living days.
The way he's crying... It's okay man, you can still be the liver king and cry. We all cry.
Okay, so I just said it's okay. But yet, every time I hear him make noises like he's crying, I crack up.
It's honestly hilarious how this guy who's all about "natural" things is clearly juiced af.
His veins and bulging abdomen are huge give aways.
Grifters gonna grift
100% not what our ancestors looked like.
Hey man
Testosterone is a naturally occurring molecule
Yeah lmao. I dunno why people think when someone says 'natural' or 'ancestrial' then it is destined to work but you can literally sell anything with those buzzwords. Even if the seller is the most artificial human being to ever exist. You can say 'ancestrial' but that ain't gonna hide your bubble gut.
(For the record, I don't care if you use 'roids. I am aware that they aren't magic substances and you still have to work real hard to look like this dude. But I hate when they are not transparent about it)
“Eating like our ancestors” does… does he think that we didn’t cook our food? Because I’m like 90% sure we did…
Some meat and stuff is okay to eat raw but yeah pretty sure we did cook most things lol
Right, I’m assuming after we discovered fire they never ate raw meat again?
pretty sure science has proven that one of the essentials for our brain development was learning to cook meat. without cooked meat humans wouldnt have even evolved into humans in the first place.
COOKED FOOD IS HOW OUR BRAINS GOT BIG
Yep, we cooked our food. Often we overcooked it or dried it like salt drying to preserve it. With no freezer or fridge raw was not an option it wouldn't last long enough. This guy is just 🙃stupid 🙃
It's funny how he claims to live "the ancestral lifestyle" by eating raw meat, when humans evolved as we did in the first place by cooking our meat. Insane.
Right. This is what happens when people take “rare steaks are the only way to cook them” too far and just end up guzzling raw testicle
@@jazwhoaskedforthis I still cannot fathom why some people hate their steak even a little bit touched by heat.

The oldest known mattress in history dates back to 77,000 years ago, and was found in the Sibudu Cave in KwaZulu-Natal in Africa. The mattress was composed of layers of reeds and rushes, discovered at the bottom of a pile of compacted grasses and leafy plants used as bedding. This bedding was periodically burned, which researchers believe was meant to limit pests and garbage
Thank you for the history lesson
I always really like learning about little things ancient humans did that shows they weren't some sort of smooth-brained rage monkey some people think they were
And you can pretty much guarantee that that was not an early prototype, so mattresses are likely to be much older. Very interesting!
