OTOH, I think ancient men did probably not eat too much fruit, as it is mostly seasonal in temperate and cooler climates.

Also wild fruit is very different from the fruit we have today. It was smaller, had more fiber and a lot less sugar.

Ever had a wild orange? Your mouth is stuck in a pucker for about three days.

I used to eat wild strawberries as a kid...they grew in the outfield, which was the position I always got assigned. I may not have paid too much attention to the game.

I have noticed that "feral" citrus fruit seems to lose much of its sweetness, citrus trees that have been abandoned and are just growing wild in the jungle. It's not nearly so sweet as the stuff we farm.

Once, years ago, on a Boy Scout hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains, we came upon a wild apple tree that was bearing fruit. Those apples were really sour...but wonderful. I have always wished since for an apple that tasted like that, but never found one in a store.
