Wow, a Troll!  What fun.  Really now, the ancestors you are talking about  
go
back to the apes, millions of years before Paleolithic humans.  It is very  
well known that paleo man lived mainly on meats.  If they ate mainly  
fruits, just how did they find them during the winter?  How about during  
the ice ages (most of the last 100,000 years)? Did they have hothouses  
perhaps in order to grow the fruits that made up the vast majority of  
their diets?  Eggs, insects and vegetables are also not available in the  
winter.  You need to think about what you're saying.
