AFAIK all Instinctos prefer older RAF. This is true for mammals,
eggs, fish and seafood.

And I have read in a scientific publication that in Africa a lot
of old meat is (or at least was) lying around. The predators
mostly don't eat all of a prey. And some big pieces, elephant for
example, can lie around for a week or so.

And all of us (IMHO) share a reluctance against killing.

In another place I read about the three states of meat: fresh,
ripe and carrion. The predators prefer it fresh, then comes the
second wave of jackals and men, then comes the cleanup troup of
vultures and ants.

So I suppose that we are no predators. We couldn't use the fresh
meat. (At least not before the invention of fire and barbecue.)
We could possibly eat some of the innards or fresh eggs, but
that's all.
