Nowadays if we think about our lifestyle and the importance of meat in it, it would really strike our minds with this thought that how a species which was primarily built as herbivore, got so much addicted to meat that as the time passed not only did it got in our diet but now many important events and traditions are mostly concerned with special dishes made from meat.
We all know that meat was selected initially in order to survive the natural challenges of planet earth because it was tasty when cooked and contained energy in its fat and various other products.
In the beginning people use to rejoice if they had found an animal's meat through some forest fire.
And their whole families enjoy a heavy feast made from the meat hunted.
Afterward when hunting was acquired as a mode to get food and human switched to hunting environments, it had to be done in groups.
Hunting was not a one man's task and had to be executed in group, and the animal that was killed had meat enough for every member, thus it seemed very exciting task.
After they returned to their tribes, whole group had to toil to rip off the skin and peel it and cut its meat to reasonable pieces which could be cooked easily.
Thus everyone had took part in this process and eventually would got there share for their efforts.
It can also be observed that although hunting was a difficult method to get food, but the idea of gathering and working together as one unit and the jubilation and rejoice after the hunt was done was a part of our nature.
