Is There An Evolutionarily Optimal Human Diet?

Drs. Stephen Simpson & David Raubenheimer discuss how diets that humans evolved to eat compare to other animals, and whether there is an optimal human diet, in terms of macronutrient composition, for things like longevity, body weight, or reproductive success. Are these diets more plant-based or vegan? More animal-based or carnivore? Or are they highly diverse & omnivorous?

The discussion is based on their book, "Eat Like the Animals: What Nature Teaches Us About the Science of Healthy Eating."
