Perhaps in more southern climates. Perhaps people, when they migrated
through the tundra, had adapted to that lifestyle, while people, say in
Africa, didn't have to. Are you African? Would Africans be considered
Gather-Hunters?

Right, and SINCE then, some people have evolved to metabolically handle an
agriculturist diet better than a high meat/fat diet.  (agriculturist meaning
mostly low-purine plant foods, doesn't have to include grains, beans or
other
newer foods) These people are well-adapted to a plant-based diet, and do not
do well on a high purine/high cholesterol diet. We can't ignore this
metabolic subset. Genetics have changed since paleo times, fortunately.
