You NEED carbs

Where did ancient humans get their carbs from during winter?

Well?

bump

Berries

In ancient times humans didn't live where there was winter

Trees. Between the out bark and the core wood is a soft edible portion that's high calorie survival food. Anytime I've seen people try to use it for that purpose , though, it hasn't worked out so well (constipation, stomach achees, ect...)

This is the correct answer. I remember watching a documentary years ago, I think it was called 'the botany of desire', but it profiled 4 plants that had significant impact on human development, and it claimed that it wasn't until we learned to grow potatoes that humans ventured into colder climates. Apparently you can grow potatoes in very harsh conditions.

To answer OP - they would have been eating animals they hunted, and hardly any plant material.

Except that potatoes were only present in the Americas until about 500 years ago; whereas people were living in Europe 30,000 years ago.

This. We've lived in cold climates for ages. It's why we're white.

We've been farming for 15000 years. The ice age was 10000 years ago.

Meaning we didn't live where there was so much cold that you couldnt eat fruit, berry, nuts and plants all year.

The current interglacial began about 12000 years ago, after about 100,000 years of glaciation.

there are no essential carbs. You have fats that are essential and proteins are essential too. That's why keto is a thing. We don't need any carbs.

never heard of scandinavia?

Take it up with Michael Pollan

no need for carbs if you eat whole animals, in Europe they would just eat animals and wild edibles

>Where did ancient humans get their carbs from during winter?
btw, you do know humans can make glucose from protein, right? carbs are non essential

Mammoth organmeat and brains you pleb.
Read miki ben-dor's paper on hypercarnivoral humans.

Grain can be stored. They had wheat silos in europe. Also it can be turned into alcohol. Europeans often drank milk in the winter though. Cows only need grass, which will grow wherever. Then you have milk as the perfect famine food. Can also be stored longer term as cheese

Roots, inner bark, food stored in the summer and fall all worked in a pinch. With the exception of Inuits and the like, almost every sizable non-agrarian population was in more temperate climates.

Checks wikipedia. He's a journalist.
Maybe he should have checked the wiki too

Carbs necessary for holding onto water. They hydrate your muscles and shieeet.

This too, milk sugars were a vital nutrient for many northern Euros.

ancient humans ate plants and fruits no?

>They had wheat silos in europe.
After agriculture became a thing. OP said ancient.
