Thanks. Would I be correct in assuming that it's some sort
of secondary source, a composite of what its author took to
be the scientific consensus?
I ask because this is true of most high school texts, and even
the best contain errors of fact (or outdated information, which
comes to the same thing).

You're still not being very clear. If you mean that our species
was at one time vegetarian, this is factually wrong. Human toolkits
include hunting weapons and debris piles from human settlements
include bones. If you don't mean that, you need to say what
you mean.
