  I know it’s a joke but this is science memes and it plays into a widespread misconception about early humans that we were some kind of blood drenched carnivores. Not true. Humans have always mostly eaten plants supplemented with some meat or other animal foods.

    Also it’s not like “getting food is easier” is the only hypothesis out there as to why we settled down. Another one, IMO much more in line with human nature, is that we figured out how to ferment beer and for that reason planted buttloads of grain.

      Since no one was there it’s hard to know for sure but I believe it was because agricultural communities were able to reproduce much faster and live at much higher densities, so they tended to win conflicts and displace societies based on foraging—even though foragers had better quality of life and didn’t normally experience the food shortages people imagine.

    It depends so much on location and period, as an example, the Inuit diet consisted of a lot of meat whole the Kaurna in Australia ate lots of yams.

      Yeah you’re right, I probably stayed it over-broadly. I’m more talking about the typical prehistoric human diet but there were exceptions.

  Okay but this is incorrect. Agriculture isn’t “eating plants” its cultivating plants.

      Does she ever admit that? Because that would cause a paradox

    yea but on the other hand this is clearly from a comedy skit so not sure this is worth the exercise in pedantry.

      Now just hang on a minute, this is the internet after all! How dare you have a sane and rational take on the situation!?

  Last I heard this was because of overpopulation, making hunting more difficult.
