How prominent is vegetarianism among the Aboriginal people of the world?

Answer 1

i imagine it is not, because there aren't many vegetables that will grow in the deserts of the world...and besides, they eat grubs and insects for protein and moisture

Answer 2

I don't have an answer to your question but I wanted to say a couple things.

Some aboriginal people eat people so it's not a good example to go by. I mean, they don't have some 'natural' intelligence or morality we should go by ect.

And to respond to Wounded Duck; Our brains got big because of milk, not meat. It is the mother being able to feed it's young with milk that allows it's offspring to develop a large brain so fast.

Answer 3

India is the only ancient culture that had a significant number of vegetarians as far as I know.
If most primitive people didn't have meat it was because they couldn't catch it.
I don't think anybody can say for certain why our "brains got bigger" or if it had anything to do with food. That's pure speculation. If the meat thing is true, then why don't carnivorous animals have bigger brains than people?

Answer 4

It isn't, but there are a lot of veggies out there all the same - something like 90% of India is vegetarian, for example.

Answer 5

It's not prominent at all. Aboriginal people are hunter-gatherers. So they are intellectually superior to those who step-down to primitive plant eating.

Answer 6

The Hunza people of Pakistan.

Answer 7

Not at all! If meat is available, intelligent beings eat it! Eating meat allowed our ancestors to develop larger brains. Doesn't that tell you a little something about vegetarianism!
