Always?? That's quite a long time, way before historical records.
Humans are frugivorous apes, always have been.

== Apes eat meat, without having to cook it.
This is a juvenile oversimplification of the facts that:
1> A -minor- fraction of adult males of -some- CHIMP tribes will hunt in
packs, kill, and eat small amounts,

2> and, more importantly, give the spoils of the hunt to females for
sexual favors.
So, it is clear that chimp flesh-eating is a SOCIAL function, NOT a
nutritional instinct which is programmed into CHIMPS DNA. Clearly, a
true nutritional need would be shown in ALL tribes to the same degree,
and that is simply not the case.

I have demonstrated your claims to be grossly in error; now, are you
honest enough to withdraw your falsehoods, and apologize to the public
for misleading them??

== If anything, humans have generally *devolved* the ability to consume
raw meat since they developed the ability to make fire, although some
societies even today consume certain types of raw meat.
Meaningless nonsense; the consumption of "meat" is THE cause of Western
degenerative diseases.

Now; are you intellectually-honest enough to admit your beliefs are
nonsense and withdraw them, with a polite apology for trying to mislead
the public??
