This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You are correct but no need to say "modern man". Biologically we are the same as those humans. We would just need to adjust to the new diet. Our bodies can still handle their lifestyle
To clarify by modern man, I meant a human living in the year 2026 who eats a "modern diet" of (at least partially) processed foods with significantly lower fiber intake than that of a preindustrial man. (Obviously this would be excluding currently living humans who are living in tribal conditions, such as those living in North Sentinel Island.)
I was not attempting to imply that those living at that time were of a different species than homosapiens. To be honest if they were a different species I'm not sure my comment would have made sense as different homo species would likely have subtle differences in their digestive tracks than homosapiens.
Our bodies never stopped evolving. Where do you think lactose intolerance (or lack thereof) is coming from? Originally it was just a few that could drink milk, now it's a significantly higher percentage of the population.
I think modern can be used in the sense of being not adjusted to harsher conditions
