Looking at Americans today, the vast majority of meat consumed is Chicken, Beef, Pork and Lamb. And maybe a dozen kinds of vegetables. Contrast that with Native American hunter gatherers who had access to Bison, Elk, Caribou, Deer, Badger, Bear, many kinds of birds and fish and insects not to mention 1000s of wild plants. There's no comparing a man made monocultural system to the diversity of nature.

Yeah but if you go further back to hunter gatherer times humans moved constantly and ate a far more varied diet than we do now. Maybe our wanderlust comes from those instincts.

Reply to comment by ave369 in eli5 why ancient historical buildings haven’t been kept up? Why are buildings like the Parthenon and the Colosseum in such disrepair? Greece and Rome/Italy have existed the entire time? by PickledSpace56
Ironically by making some of them into churches they gave us the best preserved examples of Roman architecture

They wore heavy wool clothes in the winter because there was no central heating. In the summer months they probably wore lighter linen or cotton clothes

Our vegetables have been bred for sweetness and shelf life. Their nutritional content is dropping all the time.

When you compare the cost per wear of fast fashion which can wear out after a few wears, vs quality clothing which can last, be repaired and passed down it’s actually a much better deal to buy quality. Quality second hand clothes can be found for about the same price as fast fashion if you know how to look.

Different types of faces go in and out of fashion. The ideal face depicted by an illustrator now might look more like a kardashian.

My dad used to read me these as a bedtime story as a kid. It got really awkward with the dominatrixes and whatnot. Clearly Terry G is writing with his left hand. I gave up on book 6 where it got really boring.

Percussion. Take a song like “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough” by MJ. You may not notice the percussion the first or 20th listen. But take it away and the groove would suffer immensely

Never said they had a better diet. Simply more varied.
