Australian aboriginals are modern day primitive man, see what they eat, the composition of their diet and learn smthg
Animal foods in traditional Australian aboriginal diets: polyunsaturated and low
in fat.

Australian Aborigines develop high frequencies of diabetes and cardiovascular
diseases when they make the transition to an urban lifestyle. The composition of
the traditional diet, particularly its lipid components, is a most important
aspect of the hunter-gatherer lifestyle that would bear on the risk of these
diseases. We have examined the fat content and fatty acid composition of a
variety of animal foods eaten traditionally by Aborigines from different regions
of Australia. The muscle samples of the wild animals from all over Australia
were uniformly low in fat (less than 2.6% wet weight) with a high proportion of
polyunsaturated fatty acids (greater than or equal to 20% PUFA). Liver samples
had a higher range of fat content (5-10% wet weight) but were also rich in PUFA
(33-42%). Depot fat samples varied widely in their PUFA content (5-40%). In
terms of their PUFA composition the foods tended to fall into three groups: (i)
those rich in both n-3 and n-6 PUFA, which included land-based, coastal and
freshwater animals; (ii) those rich in n-3 PUFA, i.e., marine species; (iii)
those rich in n-6 PUFA, mainly land-based species. The results of these analyses
suggest that even when the traditional Aboriginal diet contained a high
proportion of animal foods it would have been low in fat with a high proportion
of PUFA and thereby could have protected Aborigines against cardiovascular
diseases and related conditions through a combination of factors: low energy
density, low saturated fat and relatively high PUFA content.
uhhh, what did you say?
