Rather dubious claim: for example, the Inuit did not do too much gathering, except maybe a few berries in summer if they lived near tundra.

Depends on the environment. If you can gather more calories and avoid strenuous & dangerous hunting, that's what you'll do. If it's the dead of winter during the Ice Age, you'll hunt or starve.

It has been a long established that lousy hunters are vegetarians.

Thank you-I’m sure people ate whatever was plentiful and easy to harvest, whether flora or fauna-and at the high altitude of the Peruvian Andes with not much grass and plants for non-carnivorous animals to eat so you could hunt them, that would be root crops. People at lower altitudes had an easier finding animals to hunt. That seems like a no brainer, but I’m not a vegan...

Sure. If you’re a hunter, you’re not going to kill squirrels every day to provide meat. You’re going to try to bag something more substantial, something for the whole band. So it stands to reason that the ancients might not have eaten meat everyday.

Scholars now are claiming that the view of men as hunters and women as gatherers isn’t accurate and that women were also hunters, but I bet that if they really did unbiased research they’d find out (and publicize) that men were also gatherers, and perhaps even that men did more gathering than women did hunting.
