Human dentition is adapted for a generalized diet composed of both plant and
animal foods, and that human populations show amazing variability in their
plant-to-animal food subsistence ratios. However, it is important to
recognize that hominids have evolved important metabolic and biochemical
adaptations which are indicative of an increasing physiological dependence
upon animal-based foods. Further, comprehensive compilations of
hunter-gatherer subsistence strategies indicate that whenever it is
ecologically possible, humans will almost always consume more animal food
than plant food
