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.

Doesn't eating meat go back even farther than the discovery of fire? That discovery was 3.4 million years ago in the Stone Age. "Early meat eater human ancestors thrived while vegetarian hominin died out."
