"the question is why did humans start to eat the dead flesh of other beings in the first place?"

Okay, go live in the wild somewhere in the global north where cold winters last for several months and come back telling us about the dozens of edible plants you've foraged or grown during that time. It's obvious that humans became omnivorous through the worst climate conditions like the last Ice Age, little ice ages, as well as droughts. There are edible berries and a few other edible plants in the coldest regions, but they are rare and native peoples used to stockpiles on them, beyond than just collecting them on a daily basis. And yes, "controlled fire" was used aplenty for doing tasty, long-lasting candies out of these berries and fruits. Not just for cooking meat.

I feel there's many assertions done in here that got a total lack of nuance.
