Most of our ancestors lived a fraction of the lifespans we do.

So any argument based on “it worked for our ancestors” is flawed.

“It worked for our ancestors” could be the beginning of an idea for research, but certainly does not take you much further than that.

I agree with all you said but I also guess our ancestors mostly die from infection, hypothermia, viruses… certainly not from brain stop working because carbs amnesia.

"You have to have carbs for your brain to run" doesn’t make sense. You have to have sugar in your brain to run, but that sugar surely can comes from fat as well.
