Evolution can happen a lot faster than most people think. Look at what we’ve done to dogs over a few centuries. Islanders may have gotten there as hunter/gatherers, but there was not a lot of hunting to be had on those islands. Plenty of fishing though, and their bodies evolved to better process seafood while their ability to digest red/white meats atrophied.[/quote]
well said. it isn’t just the effect of red meat. the effect of refined carbs on the islanders is absolutely deadly. their bodies simply can not handle so much white rice and sugar. and everyone become diabetic.
you can see this in most native populations of the world who have evolved without a lot of carb exposure.
