I don't get mine! And I'm fine! 😄 Adam and Eve survived quite happily for a time off fruits.
I don't think the Bible mentions a time-span for the Garden of Eden... for all we know, God tore out Adam's rib, created Eve, told them to not eat the Apple and she immediately went and ate it. Stupid woman.

Well it would seem that before people learned how to actually eat what they killed that they probably ate what was grown.Of course they'd have to of learned how to cook animals they killed in order for it to taste, well......good.
Until then, people survived quite well on vegetation.
What?
Huh?
WTF?
Our ancestors have been eating meat for eons; it was the protein in meat that shaped us into what we are today.
Our ancestors.
[ediit], Oh, you edited your post. Okay, Apes and animals of that nature.
They didn't eat much animal protein though. They mostly ate ants, eggs, fish and things of that nature.

It depends where our ancestors came from those whose ancestors came from rainforests probably ate way more fruit than those who came from places like Scandanavia where there was things like bears and deer to eat.
Were talking about the earliest Human ancestors, as we're all from the same lineage.
If the ancestors of modern apes (Chimps etc.) had a different environment and picked up [more] meat eating too, then it's possible they would have had a similar Evolutionary tree to ours.

I believe it was more fish. That is where the EFA are, the Omega oils.
From what I read, the earliest meat eating was done with insects and small mammals (though smallow water fish is possible), it eventually lead to picking scraps from large(r) dead mammals which fueled the brain-process... the rest is history.

I find it interesting, too bad we'll never really know what true diets were 4 thousands years ago. Interesting to speculate on it though.
We do know what diets were like 4k years ago, as civilizations like the Egyptians kept records. They were agrarian and they also kept/rasied livestock for food, i.e. omnivores.
