I was just responding to the idea that seems to be going round the group
that before agriculture people basically didn't eat carbohydrates.

I've not seen anyone say that. Jean B. said she thought "most of the
calories" came from game and I believe she is correct.

they did, but not as 60-70% of the diet as people do after

What percent of their diet would you say was carbohydrate?

Read "Guns, Germs and Steel" by Jared Diamond. The answers are in there.
