Here'a crazy idea: some claim that the reason why we are so attuned to color, and especially to red, is that we are fruit-eating animals.
Yes, that is crazy.
Look up fruitarians on YouTube -- people who only eat fruit -- and you will see individuals who look like they are skeletons with a pulse.
EXTREMELY unthealthy.
Chance of humans being fruit-eating animals is 0%.
There was a pair of them down in Australia a while ago. The male was a cyclist and called himself "Durian Rider".
Both of them came to, over time, look very sickly and gaunt. The female took longer because she had stores of fat on her, and was probably also getting sperm.
The female was Freelee the banana girl IIRC. Also why would sperm keep her fat? lol
Bingo, yes.
One of the things that was notable was how irritable and just plain angry she got the further she went on her "fruit only" journey.
Sperm is loaded with vitamins, progesterone, Vitamin D, and calories.
Maybe, but from where? Certainly not her fruitarian side kick, because his hormones would have been shut down.
KEK
I think humans absolutely without doubt adapted to eat fruit. Just look at our modern behaviors. All of those stem from the old ways.
But the eating of fruit was in third quarter of the year (Northern Hemisphere), and designed to pack on the calories as fat in the advent of Winter.
We were not meant to eat fruit 365 days a year.
The fruit is a supplement to the main course, which is meat. Imagine, if you will, cavemen. They would hunt and gather. The gathering part is there to stretch the meat supply, not replace it.
Also, it is sensible to harvest a tree of pre-historic apples, but not to harvest grass seeds (grain) that needs to be then fermented to be made made edible.
No, that is not correct.
Early cavemen did not have fruit to "gather" back in the early days. The fruits you see in the grocery store today DID NOT EXIST AT ALL back then.
They have been selectively bred over several thousand years to be the sweet, tasty things they are today. Back then, they would have been hard to find and not particularly of interest.
Sure, if they were on a hunt and they knew for sure that some berry would not kill them (many would), they might eat a few. But it was certainly not a significant part of their diet.
The "hunter/gatherer" thing is a myth. They were hunters. Full stop.
Yes, I nearly wrote that, the 'apples' that cavemen would have come across would be small and sour, like rosehips.
"Eats shoots, and leaves."
nope. Why bother?
