The problem is, there has been some variation from relatively early on–at times with dire consequences. E.g. Neaderthaler diets regionally varied from heavily meat based to strictly vegetarian (Weyrich & al. 2017), the latter including altering of oral microbiota leading to tooth decay and massive increase of associated inflammatory illness (as also seen in AMHs when shifting from hunter-gatherer economies to agriculturalist grain-based diets).
Quite sadly, the variety of food available has become restricted to the point even an expert like Lindeberg (2010) is left clueless how to arrive at something approximating a pre-Neolithic-like diet.

PS: Es gibt diese entzückenden Geschichten von Menschen aus dem hohen Norden, die noch ziemlich traditionelle Lebensweisen hatten. Wenn die mal im Süden waren, haben die aus lauter Verzweiflung zweimal am Tag Steak und Salat gegessen. Offensichtlich ist das also nicht das schlechteste.
