The Inuit are an edge case of extreme carnivorism. Other peoples ate diets of about 2/3 animal food sources (meat, fat, fish). Shellfish and muscles was huge. Which makes total sense, since why would you laborously gather roots if you can just pick some shells or plunder a birds nest?
Only with the beginning of agriculture did man start to rely on carbohydrates as his main source of calories. With severe consequences for nourishment, bones and health as the fossil record shows.We ate carbs before, like in seasonally available berries and as honey. But it became the main food very late in our development.
