Protein may have been "recognized" in 1839, but it was "discovered" and utilized by early man and the hunter/gatherer societies that followed to present mankind. Your article implies that humans have become meat eaters only recently - which overlooks the entire prior history of man. When the basis of an article is flawed I can only conclude that the supposition is also flawed.

Maybe Darwin's theory of natural selection is at work here. Man, when possible, appears to be choosing a diet with animal protein over a vegan existence. Good for Darwin. He got it right.
