I think the only country who kept a part of how we lived 8000 years ago is India. Though a lot of it have been corrupted and it is why I think they have so much problems today. The caste system has been corrupted completly and most of them dont understand how that system was working.
In india for example eating meat is considered to be a lower thing. Ghandi for example refused that his child eat an eggs even if that eggs could saved his life. Extreme but it shows what kind of beliefs they have.Ghandi was extreme in approach. So most religious people there don't eat meat.
If you study india diet you will notice they have one of the most varied diet, with tons of spice.
I have been eating meat all my life but when I see their culture and the knowlegde there is in their books its quiet mind blowing. Though most indian are ignorant about how they really lived back then. So in that context india are not different than other country. Most indian follow what they have been tauch even it is completly corrupted and doesnt make any sense anymore.
No large civilization has existed mainly eating veggies. None. 99% of earths civilizations in history ate meat. In Egypt, Mesoamerica, Mesopatamia and China they ate meat. As for the Karma thing you have to understand that science has proven plants have emotions and when one tree is chopped down in the forest the others start responding with chemichal messagages designed to reach the other plants.
Main reason why meat gives us disease today is because of the excess processing of the food and feeding of hormones to the cattle.
Another thing is, virtually all the longest livers in the world have eaten meat regularly.
Yeah plants have emotions too to some extent and other stuff I'm probably not aware of. But you have to know that plants are less evolved creature. So when you eat a plant vs eating meat this is vastly different in term of karmic price. It's like comparing killing a human vs killing an animal, it's a different price to pay.
You can't really think that someone would pay a huge price for killing a tree would you? But killing an animal it's a step up, and killing a human is a step up again.
As to your presumption you could only know for sure if you lived back then 8000 years ago (edit:8000BC) or even much before that. So that's a huge presumption to me. 16000 years ago, 32000 years ago, 64000 years ago. Most historian can't even go back to 5000 years ago (edit:5000BC) so I assume you have a time travel equipment in your garage. Or you are blindly trusting what the western history book are telling you.
As to my presumption, I have reasons to believe that India's text book have preserved some of the way people were living 5000 years ago (edit:5000BC), at least some people. And also the way the caste system was working 8000 years ago (edit:8000BC) was due to astrological perfect calculation that we don't have right now and also more evolved individual to interpret those calculation. Those perfect calculation step down each 1000 years until 500AD which represent the lower point of human abilities, the darkest time as they call it, at that point the caste system was no longer working and was a completely corrupted system.
I don't think that system was invented to abuse people, people naturally abused the system the more ignorant they became. So I agree with you about the injustice it caused.
It is causing injustice today due to stupidity, ignorance and blind faith with a system they can no longer understand.
PS: It's like the waning and the waxing of the moon but in a bigger scale, ~8000BC was the full moon, 500AD the dark waned moon.
