hunter-gatherer diet
hunter-gatherer diet
AnthropologyA diet rich in animal protein, fruits and plants and virtually devoid of grains and dairy products, which is the presumed diet of primitive man. (Consumption of grains and use of dairy products translate as the ability to cultivate and harvest plants and domesticate milk-producing animals, both of which represent later development of early man.) Some alternative healthcare providers believe that the allergies commonly seen in modern man may be due to changes in the human diet.
