> About salt -- I wonder why human beings have such a taste for salt?

I wonder if it reminds us of the taste of the freshly killed animal. Blood
is high in salt cf flesh is high in potassium chloride. As we drain the
blood from meat these days it doesn't have the same taste as a freshly
killed animal.
