Through tens of thousands of years, even hundreds of thousands of years, man did not have a salt shaker. Suddenly, we have a big requirement for the addition of sodium to our foods?

Doggon it. Bogie used one of my sources. However, man has used salt thought prehistory and recorded history. Among other things it was used as a preservative for fish and meats to provide food during seasonal variations in availability.

Despite my efforts I cannot find a reference to the use of salt on vegetables for preservation. So when did veganism arise, and why? For the hundreds of thousands of years of years we have existed in our variety of forms, humans and our predecessors have depended upon both salt and meat/fish and other non-vegan proteins.
