Interesting fact, not super relevant:

There has never been a successful 3-generation-or-more society that had a primarily vegan diet. Ever.

                       

Your statement is false.  As just one example, the Tarahumara people of Central America have been largely plant-based for centuries, and that's just one example (and they're renowned for incredible feats of endurance too).

The Tarahumara subsist on a diet that is largely fruits and vegetables they do indeed eat meat; mostly small animals and fish, which makes up about 5% of their diet (which I've argued for years is the sweet spot that human digestive systems thrive at). Their renowned feats of endurance are also called "persistence hunting", which they use to hunt deer.
