Scientific America has an excellent article about the diet of the early humans millions of years ago. Based on studies on preserved tartar on teeth, they found evidence that they ate a wide variety of food--both plants and meat. Humans, without any long, sharp canine teeth, weren't meant for a consistent carnivorous diet of raw meat. In other words, restrictive diet fads aren't what the ancient people follow.
