Then why do it? It makes no sense to me to scour the
universe for "the truth", and then ignore it when you
find it.

I believe you have 'at least' implied it to the list a
numer of times. But maybe I was reading into your
statements something that was not there.

I think there is sufficient evidence for higher
percentages. But, those numbers may not be "optimal".
It's entirely possible that early humans ate 50%+ meat
may not have "had to" eat that much, but simply
preferred to eat that much.

I stand corrected. Those humans "had to" eat that much
:)
