Much grazing (grasses that is). And another difference from apes. They eat fruit. We are omnivorous.-http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/06/130603163749.htm

Funny how well that lines up with the biblical account, where humans originally ate 'seed bearing fruits' and animals were given the 'leafy plants'. It wasn't until after the fall that there is any mention of farming/grains being eaten, and not until Enoch that we start seeing much in the way of meat eating. Hrmmm

Evolution: We are what we eat

We evolved eating whatever was available. We are what we eat, and the paleolithic diet shaped how we handle food. The Black population forced to come to America still has trouble solving the Western diet and show it with high blood pressure and this results in 80% of dialysis patients being Black.
