In prehistory the are not eating dairy, but may eat dead animals, insects, shellfish, etc.

So not all vegan, but moreso than not.

Humans evolved to proccess dairy, not once, not twice, but 3 times. Some studies even suggest up to 5 times.

Seems like it was definitely advantageous to consume dairy

  Outside of mother’s milk our ape ancestors weren’t getting any dairy though. Maybe the last 10k, even longer, years. Not the last 100k, to say nothing of the last 10 million.

    You are right it is a newer adaptation, but one that was clearly advantageous to our species. There are not many evolutionary changes that occurred independently in 3-5 different populations.

That’s literally not in any way shape or form veganism. That’s omnivorous, no ifs ands or buts about it.
