Yes and they do fine. If you eat protein exclusively with no or very little fat, that’s when you’ll run into trouble.

Judging from the article, the fat contained in that sort of meat would prevent the sort of malnutrition that comes from eating lean fish exclusively.

Correct. You subsist on what is there and supplement it with anything else one can. The tribes on the West Coast of Alaska, Washington, Oregon and Northern California thousands of years ago flourished. This article of supposed science is just crap. I am a scientist but do not hold others of such in high regard.
