Chimpazees do hunting.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimpanzee#Hunting
" their sharp, pointy teeth." Humen can create weapons and fire. No need for long teeth.
Australopithecus did eat animals. "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australopithecus#Diet"
Its a common misconception among vegetarians that humen were originally vegetarians. Quiet the opposite is true.
we have evidence for hunter gathering societies since 1.8 million years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter-gatherer#Archaeological...

1.8M years is a drop in the bucket on an evolutionary timeline
Humen can create weapons and fire. No need for long teeth.
sure. is that evolution or technology?

1.) Can you just admit that your original claims are debunked by wikipedia?
2.) Of course 1.8 Million years matter in Evolution. Please make you familiar with the Wikipedia article instead being a pseudo sceptical.

sure, ok. I misspoke when I said all the great apes are vegetarian. in reality, all the great apes are and were mostly vegetarian.
idk if that's really worth the effort, but I admit it, you made a point.
edit: to everybody else, I apologize for the passive-aggressive vibe, I just don't see where else this (requested!) reply can really go.
on the evolutionary scale, this is provably false. all the great apes are vegetarian. we have flat, grinding teeth like cows, and long intestinal tracts like cows too -- not the quick, short intestinal tracts of predators or their sharp, pointy teeth.
strictly speaking, not even cows are vegan. not absolutely, perfectly, and totally. one of the weird side effects of ubiquitous cameras today is people have caught cows eating birds that were trapped in fences. it doesn't happen a lot, but it happens.
but overall, with a reasonable margin of approximation, then yes, our ancestors were definitely vegan, at least our evolutionary ones.
