Early diets

It seems clear to me that man is not an herbivore by nature (claims
to the contrary have been made elsewhere). But I'm curious as to
what man may have eaten prior to tools & fire - if those are indeed
significant dietary milestones.

We don't seem terribly suited to running down and grabbing prey; and
yet we existed for a considerable period before the above technologies.
What's the scoop on early diets?
