Scurvy is likely but it’s actually possible to avoid scurvy if you eat the right offals and cook it on the rare side. It’s not enough vitamin c for your body to get the true antioxidant benefits of it but it’s apparently enough to avoid scurvy

Yeah like he replaced his bed by a wood plank, but dude uses plates and electricity for some reason. Also I’m pretty sure gyms hadn’t been invented yet in ancestral times, and neither was beard oil.
@@msd7544 Also I am pretty sure our ancestors didn't wax their chest hair....so you would expect him to be the hairiest man alive but I guess Zeus was the "ancestor" he was going for with that beard and abs.
To be fair, unless you're extremely prone to sunburn, be extremely careful what brand of sunscreen you buy. A surprising amount of them can give you skin cancer. Yes, I get accused of wearing a tin hat regularly for that, however that's no longer a crazy stance since the news has finally acknowledged it as of around a year ago. Sunscreen gives you skin cancer.
Next thing you know he’ll be sunbathing inside a microwave because there wasn’t no puny ozone layer to protect the ancestors (I don’t actually know if there wasn’t an ozone layer when primates emerged, just joking and stuff)
Idk if Danny didnt cover it or what, but he didnt actually shame anyone. Thats what pisses me off about thatveganteacher. He wants to be stupid and eat purely meat and sleep on wood? Fine. Cuz he's not pushing it on others and shaming those who dont. They're both diehards about their diets tho lol.
The bed thing kills me every time. Even our ape cousins use a ton of leaves and stuff to sleep comfortably. Our ancestors definitely figured out how to gather grass and make soft places to sleep. Animals with lower intelligence know how to nest and that the hard ground is shitty to lay on hahaha
Romans and Greeks frequently chose to sleep on hard surfaces such as wooden planks. Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Philosopher Emperor, even mentions it briefly in, “Meditations,” and how he is thankful for being encouraged to sleep that way.
@@liberalsrelstupido8349 Yet we still have thousands of years of evidence across cultures of reeds, straw, wool, and other cushion material being used to sleep on. If you like a hard surface, cool, but claiming that all of our ancestors slept like that and that's why you're doing it sounds stupid.
Imagine the luck of being born in a generation with creature comforts like mattresses and climate controlled homes and deciding to just be uncomfortable because of some perceived importance of "ancestry". Your ancestors would call you a dumbass for sleeping on wood.
@@liberalsrelstupido8349 Funny thing is that even then, Liver King didn’t even fully commit to living the Roman/Greek lifestyle for sleep since he added bare minimum cushioning so it’d technically account as “living da ancestral life” lol

Fun fact: when the liver king mentions your "skin biome", what he means is the normal bacteria that just chill out on your skin. If you've ever heard of your microbiome in your gut (referring to the normal bacteria that help with digestion), your skin biome is like that but on your skin Edit: in case there is any confusion, your gut microbiome and your skin microbiome do two different things. I was just making the comparison to help explain what a biome, or rather microbiome, is.
As a historian, this is hilariously ahistorical. I assume he's aiming for like pre-history humans, but also the amount of meat he eats, the wooden uncomfortable bed. It's just funny
I was just going to say the same! Why do these paleo people always miss the gathering part of hunter gatherers? Besides, having dairy products means domesticated cows. Imo most of his diet should be plant based, then fish and other easily obtainable proteins.
I just love how completely wrong it is....prehistoric, and pre-agricultural human diet was primarily starchy roots. Yes they ate meat, but not every day. Most fruits that we have today did not exist back then, they were spread globally (meaning they would be inaccessible) and are seasonal, often only being able to be found for a week or two for each species. Conversely, root vegetables are abundant across the globe in many forms in each region. A big starchy root is a very successful evolutionary adaptation. So they are abundant, calorically and nutritionally significant, and accessible year round. Eat your veggies kids, and don't take the naughty sauce.
They also cooked the meat meat, cooking killer off harmful bacteria and parasites for at least the last two million years. Homo Erectus conquered fire millions of years ago. Cooking made food easier to digest as well allowing for us to have bigger brains…now we’re going in reverse.
I teach Ancient History and I think the Liver King has forgotten the gather part of hunter-gatherer society. His Paleolithic ancestors are probably as confused by him as we are
literally. there are so many ancient societies that rarely if ever ate meat. from what ik, the only communities that subsisted purely on meat were those that lived in frigid climates where plant life was sparce
Also saying “ancestral” is literally so vague😭 like is he basing this a particular time and place? Or is he just basing his whole life off of his stereotyped idea of “cavemen”

“They must be careful when choosing milk. They have to be hesitant, because the wrong choice will lead to them choosing a gallon of milk with an early expiration date” 🐅
One of the most dangerous places in the grocery store was the Deli section. This would force our ancestors to interact with competing families, and if resources were limited it may lead to a fight that would end in both parties going without food.

The bed thing is so funny to me. Even animals build themselves comfortable nests and 'beds' to rest in. Why does he assume our prehistoric ancestors didn't?
Because his knowledge of "our ancestors" apparently amounts to what he saw from Flintstones cartoons. He also, conveniently, ignores the fact that there's a reason that cultures around the world have feasts/traditions that center around eating an animal, like Thanksgiving. It's because being able to eat a substantial amount of meat had always been a special occasion, during our hunter-gatherer phase as a species. The only real exceptions would be, maybe, peoples that had easy access to abundant fish/seafood.
This is what drives me crazy. We are where we are today because who tf wants to sleep on a big rock. Thats why weve developed things and experimented with ideas. Humans are constantly evolving and trying to make living a little easier. Thats why we create things lmao.
Like does he think indigenous people just throw a slab on the ground and call it a day? Please someone tell this man to take any form of history class/anthropology.
His bed is actually pretty accurate though. My grandparents have a similar bed set up, which is pretty common amongst Indians. Although people from the past didn't just plop themselves down on rocks, they certainly didn't sleep on the huge oversized mattresses of today either.
Seriously like…if you showed his videos to someone 2000 years ago they’d be so confused on why he’s not cooking his meat with fire, how the fuck he’s so muscular(steroids), why he doesn’t eat fruits/veggies, and why he CHOOSES to sleep on a wood box💀
Right? I'm presuming he's living in that modern house....with a fridge and freezer, and multiple rooms, and upholstery made of man made fabrics, an indoor bathroom, windows with panes... Yeah, he's LARPing living in the past. If he was actually living in, say, the Bronze Age, he would be cryyyying xD
Y’all, “our ancestors” did not deprive themselves by choice. If they had the same resources available as we do, there is no way they would choose to sleep on a wooden slab and eat raw meat.
@@Cat-fq3pt Actually no! The average age of people back then was around 45, you’re right, but that didn’t actually mean most people lived to 45! Most people lived to around 80, like us, except a lot of people died as babies, so it brought the average way down. Great English by the way!
@@Brynwyn123 OMG Exactly!!! Meat was extremely hard to come by since you had to actually go out and spend pretty much all day waiting for enough game to come along and then the act of killing it and carrying it back was super difficult as well so....yeah
Exactly. I was thinking he "has a disdain for technology", but then how would everyone else know how buff, strong, weird, and cool he is with his abnormal lifestyle?
The only “ancestral group” that subsisted on a mostly meat-based diet (that I can think of) were the Inuit, Yupik, and other indigenous groups of northern Canada. They’re a fascinating exception in that, over a long period of time, they developed a unique gut microbiome that allowed them to digest raw meat more efficiently than other groups.
I think there is something similar like that for people whose ancestors relied heavily on dairy products like hard cheesees and milk. Most people are somewhat lactose intolerant, but people with that background almost need at least a little bit of it. This kind of stuff is really interesting, it sucks that dudes like this ultimately wind up discouraging people from looking into it.
@@psychotophatcat basically if you have mostly British Isles, Nordic etc ancestry, lactose does absolutely nothing to you. As one of those people, it's great, I can have dairy with no consequences
@croaker I don’t think you know what subsistence means in this context… it just means to survive/feed yourself. Like subsistence agriculture means feeding yourself by farming (and was what most people did for most of the last several thousand years)
@croaker Homo Sapiens have always been omnivores. Other species of Homo- might have been less omnivorous, but none have ever been “hypercarnivores”. That’s simply impossible. Even obligate carnivore species like cats (big and small) sometimes eat vegetation to settle their stomachs. And there’s still plant life in even the driest regions of the world. The unspecified “tribes” you mention also forage and farm. Roots, legumes, and squash are very common in many Central African dishes. There’s a reason pre-historic humans lived in hunter-GATHERER societies. Hunting was unreliable; success wasn’t guaranteed. Foraging was almost always successful.
@croaker yes, gathering was a fallback when hunting was unsuccessful; I’m not disputing that. The primary source of protein and vitamin B12 in the human diet has always derived from meat and animal products. B12 is an absolute necessity in our diet, so I don’t disagree at all that humans have evolved to eat meat. My original comment was specifically addressing the eating of _raw_ seal/whale meat in humans from between 15,000-10,000 years ago. Compared to 3-5 MYA, our stomachs (and subsequent pH levels) evolved out of the ability to _efficiently_ digest raw meat - other than very fresh fish and beef. Cooked, dried, pickled, and spiced meat keeps for far longer than raw meat - especially in warmer climates (which is why spicy food is seen more often in civilizations closer to the equator). Before the advent of preservation methods, I don’t doubt that humans and our anthropological ancestors were closer to scavengers. I don’t think we’re in disagreement about anything. We’re just thinking of different time periods.
People like this always underestimate how many vegetables ancient humans ate. They're always like "mm yes meat" when our real ancestors were eating every wild plant they could possibly find.
Literally though. A lot of human diets through history were mostly vegetarian. Eating a lot of meat in ancient times was a sign of major wealth and privilege.
He needs the true ancient diet: using up all your energy failing to hunt with a crappy spear, starving for days in the winter and accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms.
As someone who is an anthropology major, it shocks me as to how little research liver king put into the Basis for his entire lifestyle…like literally every single thing he says can be easily disproven with just a tiny bit of prehistorical research…
Same! Although I am a mechanical engineer and I have no knowledge about anything that even comes close to fitness and human anatomy, he looks better than me so I'm mad
@@voluntaryismistheanswer carbon is in all living matter (both plant and animal), so carbon dating wouldn't be a problem when archeologist come across ancient preserved veggies and fruits. But there's plenty of evidence that indicate ancient humans ate plants, just like meat. Usually the remains of these plants are found buried in baskets or preserved in the mud of archeological dig sites. Not to mention, agriculture itself is an amazing testament to relationship between plants and humans! Wild corn looks completely different to your standard domesticated corn for example.
Apparently the supplements they sell are all based on parts of cattle. There is a cow liver supplement, which I'm assuming is made of cow livers. I dunno.
Yepp ! We have multiple microbiomes in our bodies. Our skin, our mouth, our armpits, our gut, this “Liver King” does say some true things but it’s so hard to take him seriously when everything else he says is so insane, illogical or inaccurate.

@@caminey7455 I don't exactly know what the Liver king did but he got himself into some hot water. You're going to have to watch a video on him to understand what's going on
Early humans: we eat bread, honey, and COOKED meat. This guy: RAW FLESH........ And several million dollar home, jet skis, and fully automatic rifles JUST LIKE OUR ANCESTORS!!
Yeah and the earliest humans had hunter gatherer societies and most of their food was gathered because hunts often failed and didn’t always bring back food at all much less enough for everyone to live entirely off it, so he’s literally just wrong
@@sleepysera That's going back about two million years. Those guys were not really the "humanity" we are today in evolutionary terms, which means that our effective ancestors never primarily ate uncooked meat.
The oldest known mattress in history dates back to 77,000 years ago, and was found in the Sibudu Cave in KwaZulu-Natal in Africa. The mattress was composed of layers of reeds and rushes, discovered at the bottom of a pile of compacted grasses and leafy plants used as bedding. This bedding was periodically burned, which researchers believe was meant to limit pests and garbage
I always really like learning about little things ancient humans did that shows they weren't some sort of smooth-brained rage monkey some people think they were
It's so funny when "primal" or "return to the ancestors" weirdos are buff as hell like actual ancestors wouldn't have been skinny as hell and able to run for a bazzillion miles while eating mostly plants.
"return to ancestors" is not difficult to imitate, considering all the indigenous people who still live like they used to all the way back 2000-3000 years ago. None of them look like the poster child for roid rage.
Honestly I'd vibe with this dude way more if he lived in a house made of wood and cobblestone and had a dirt floor and if he only hunted with a spear he doesn't go all in and I think he's weak for that
He also seemed to scoff at the idea of vegetables, which our early ancestors would definitely would have eaten if they found them (same with fruit). That’s the “gatherer” part of hunter-gatherers.
seriously! it's so infuriating how he picks and chooses what counts as "ancestral". he presumably still uses air conditioning/central heating, indoor plumbing, guns, testosterone steroids, etc... but noooo, his meat has to be eaten RAW, of course our "ancestors" couldn't use fire to cook food 🙄
So does Liver King refer to the way of life of Hunter-Gatherers as the ancestral lifestyle? If so, should someone tell him that the ancestral lifestyle likely contained more fruits and plants than meat because hunting was a nightmare, which means he's doing it all wrong?
I feel like these people that want to live “ancestral” think early humans had strict rules when they were literally just trying to survive. You can bet your ass if you gave early humans a memory foam mattress they would be so happy.
This dude seems to just want to live the stereotype of our “ancestors” or like a movie version of cavemen then what they actually did back then. It’s like a mix of some facts and mostly fiction
When he says "skin biome" he's referring to the BACTERIA living on your skin. It's a real thing, you just don't really need to do any upkeep on it like he's saying or bathe in pine needles.
For those unfamiliar with fitness and nutrition: 1. The man is 100% guaranteed on steroids (which wouldnt be a problem if he'd be open about it instead of attesting his physique purely to his insane diets, lifestyle and most importantly obsolete, overpriced supplements etc) 2. In contrast to what he claims, consuming large amounts of liver can be a major health risk, particularly Hypervitaminosis A comes to mind 3. This should go without saying but consuming raw animal parts is also a large risk and will eventually give you parasites and food poisoning, the reason something like beef tartar can be consumed raw is because in the case of beef, most pathogens are found on the outer layer of the meat due to contaminations in the slaughterhouse (this is also why you shouldnt eat burger patties rare) I think his content is great to make fun of but its scary to think that someone might believe his horrible advice.
I’m really concerned about the fact that he’s seemingly feeding his kids raw meat and no vegetables as well. And potentially convincing other parents to feed their children that way.
this guy talking about his “skin biome” is like when my dad and brother talk to me about how they’re strengthening their immune system by eating stuff that’s out of date or not washing their hands
The future for your dad - Doctor: sir, you strengthened your immune system too much, you now have an autoimmune disease. If only you hadn’t challenged it so much!
Yee what your dad and bro do is nonsense I'm much smarter than that I use the "immunity system strengthening" excuse to not wear more clothes when it's cold when my mom tells me to
That would be beneficial if their immune systems were still...y'know, developing. Not really gonna do much for them now except give them a stomachache.
The way he's crying... It's okay man, you can still be the liver king and cry. We all cry. Okay, so I just said it's okay. But yet, every time I hear him make noises like he's crying, I crack up.
His wife calls him "the Bear" because I'm sure she secretly hates being called "Liver Queen" Anyways evolutionary biologist Marlene Zuk has a great book debunking these "paleo" people called "Paleofantasy", dismantling these people's arguments about what "ancestral humans" did and why it's actually not great for you. Also, the fact he has no idea what EMF waves actually are or how they work is hilarious to me. As someone with severe allergies, though, I'm worried for those poor kids.
Don't feel too bad. A lot of these online health people are full of shit & actually aren't dragging their kid's health down with there's. Probably why he dod.t have anything on the kid's plate.
Listen, I’m no historian but I’m pretty sure our ancestors didn’t have pre-packaged vitamins. Especially not ones they had to buy online. Could be wrong though
Or protein shakes. I’d be dying to know what this guy’s logic is. Medicine is bad, but supplements and vitamins (which are usually only needed in certain cases, otherwise it’s just expensive urine or a gateway to a realllllly unhealthy liver (heyyy, maybe that is really his namesake)) are fine. What is the difference? Well, regulatory standards. Same with essential oil crap, what is so natural about having 25 kg of peppermint leaves in a bottle? Why is that going to cure cancer and every other ailment? Snake oils-men are always carrying on about the profit in healthcare (well, majorly healthcare where it’s not universal and it’s legal to advertise prescription meds). I can understand to an extent the distrust in healthcare under capitalism and the different factors that can play into it. But, the people promoting that make profit from generating distrust leading them to rely on their products and books and whatever else they shill. People will always have health issues, especially with longer lifespans, it’s all about who you turn to- a fraud who profits off of fear, conspiracies and limited “evidence” (largely unfalsifiable anecdotes). Or, medicine which has faults, but has evidence, regulation and standards. Universal healthcare and limiting unethical profits while funding further research will always be the best plan. True holistic medicine involving science and experts is amazing, these scam artists aren’t.
I took “biological dentist” as, his wife was born a dentist and has the typical chromosomes. Cisdentist. As opposed to being ADAB (assigned dentist at birth) but identifying as transdentist
i know danny has a big audience but it’s really nice to know so many people have careers like learning about the past in the comments! i think your job is really cool and i love learning about it :)
I feel kind of bad for his kids. I get being allergic to a shit ton of stuff, but eating raw meat..... uhhhhh no. Also, Danny, there are things living on our skin.
As a physics major it always hurts my soul to hear "magnetic fields" thrown arround so non chalantly specially in sci fi movies. Also! Those electrical wires that power his house lights... They induce magnetic fields
Right? It's literally how they move electricity. Does he think it's just like a garden hose where all of the electricity flows along under the rubber or something?
I feel that it's necessary to mention for those people who are not into fitness that Liver King is 100% enhanced. The amount of muscle mass he has (like, Mr. Olympia level) indicates that he's using dangerously high levels of PEDs. Steroids and other PEDs also wreak absolute havoc on your cardiovascular health, which is likely why he sounds like he's out of breath all the time. So suffice it to say that his projection of healthy living is very contradictory to how he treats his body. All in all he's just another dime a dozen fitness influencer who tries to sell his products using his "ancestral living" shtick as a unique selling proposition, which is funny considering that, from what he shows in his videos, his training involves a lot of barbells and other modern gym equipment.
Was just about to comment about the constant heavy breathing, like, that's not natural healthy way for a person to be when they're just standing and talking and you definitely hear stuff and see news about bodybuilders all the time who've had to actually stop exercise and wean themselves off of all the steroids or they'd not survive a month longer.
Yeah it is depressing to be in the position of defending Steroid King but he at least has a grasp on nutrition (I'll still take my Rocky mountain oysters cooked, lol)
Also, if people like this really cared about history, they would know many early humans were not jacked like this. The ones who were thin had a lot of lean muscle because they were constantly on the go when they weren't resting. Bulky muscle like his would slow you down and make you less agile which is not good if you're hunting and trying to stay away from predators like bears and big cats.
True! they also had a higher body fat percentage, and likely rarely exercised for fun... or whatever emotion Liver King is feeling as he collapses from the weights he's pulling.
Nope. “Early men and women weren’t just endurance freaks, they were also burly. Prehistoric agricultural women for instance seem to have upper bodies as strong as of todays collegiate rowers”-Vice
@@drcola143 So agricultural peoples lived completely different lives than peoples who would regularly have to forage for food. So your quote has no relevance.
As someone who's considered steroid use, his body type (and my families heart disease) are why I decided against it. His shoulders are inflated from how the increase testosterone is distributed in your body. His stomach also pops out due to the huge increase in total muscle mass there. You can do things to avoid looking like a top heavy bubble boy. He clearly didnt bother to though. I wonder how much cardio a big boy like that does. I promise our ancestors were thin long distance runners not giant muscle heads.
thank u! Why don't people realize that our "ancestors" lol wtv that is cuz history is way to long and diverse but one thing they all had in common was that muscle was built for practical use. Not for showing off or just for the sake of building muscle
I just commented asking someone with steroids knowledge to break this down and then I see this comment 😅 whose gonna tell him cavemen didn't have steroids
He should really read up on how hunter-gatherer actually lived, how electromagnetic fields work and what they actually are and a bunch of other things because his thought process and reasoning seem really illogical to me. Also, if he actually lives the way he show off on socal media I'm kinda concerned for his kids health.
You can tell how much he hates his kids from the way he writes about them and addresses them. Poor things were just born with health issues (possibly from the mother not taking proper care of herself while pregnant) and now he acts as if they have not 'thrived'. Not to mention that he forces them to live in a super uncomfortable house with no phones or internet connection. This dude sucks.
Also, he’s saying that he’s “honoring his ancestors”, but I can’t imagine anything more disrespectful than ignoring all of the technological advances that have led to a longer lifespan. Like, your “ancestors” would have probably loved to have a 70+ year lifespan in a house with electricity and a safe way to prepare food…

The bed thing kills me every time. Even our ape cousins use a ton of leaves and stuff to sleep comfortably. Our ancestors definitely figured out how to gather grass and make soft places to sleep. Animals with lower intelligence know how to nest and that the hard ground is shitty to lay on hahaha
Romans and Greeks frequently chose to sleep on hard surfaces such as wooden planks.
Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Philosopher Emperor, even mentions it briefly in, “Meditations,” and how he is thankful for being encouraged to sleep that way.

@@elainelouve i think he’s modern ancestral😂😂
I just love how completely wrong it is....prehistoric, and pre-agricultural human diet was primarily starchy roots.
Yes they ate meat, but not every day. Most fruits that we have today did not exist back then, they were spread globally (meaning they would be inaccessible) and are seasonal, often only being able to be found for a week or two for each species.
Conversely, root vegetables are abundant across the globe in many forms in each region. A big starchy root is a very successful evolutionary adaptation. So they are abundant, calorically and nutritionally significant, and accessible year round.
Eat your veggies kids, and don't take the naughty sauce.
They also cooked the meat meat, cooking killer off harmful bacteria and parasites for at least the last two million years. Homo Erectus conquered fire millions of years ago. Cooking made food easier to digest as well allowing for us to have bigger brains…now we’re going in reverse.
I teach Ancient History and I think the Liver King has forgotten the gather part of hunter-gatherer society. His Paleolithic ancestors are probably as confused by him as we are

The bed thing is so funny to me. Even animals build themselves comfortable nests and 'beds' to rest in. Why does he assume our prehistoric ancestors didn't?
Because his knowledge of "our ancestors" apparently amounts to what he saw from Flintstones cartoons.
He also, conveniently, ignores the fact that there's a reason that cultures around the world have feasts/traditions that center around eating an animal, like Thanksgiving.
It's because being able to eat a substantial amount of meat had always been a special occasion, during our hunter-gatherer phase as a species.
The only real exceptions would be, maybe, peoples that had easy access to abundant fish/seafood.
This is what drives me crazy. We are where we are today because who tf wants to sleep on a big rock. Thats why weve developed things and experimented with ideas. Humans are constantly evolving and trying to make living a little easier. Thats why we create things lmao.

He un-delays the delayed orders.
The only “ancestral group” that subsisted on a mostly meat-based diet (that I can think of) were the Inuit, Yupik, and other indigenous groups of northern Canada. They’re a fascinating exception in that, over a long period of time, they developed a unique gut microbiome that allowed them to digest raw meat more efficiently than other groups.
I think there is something similar like that for people whose ancestors relied heavily on dairy products like hard cheesees and milk. Most people are somewhat lactose intolerant, but people with that background almost need at least a little bit of it. This kind of stuff is really interesting, it sucks that dudes like this ultimately wind up discouraging people from looking into it.
@@psychotophatcat basically if you have mostly British Isles, Nordic etc ancestry, lactose does absolutely nothing to you.
As one of those people, it's great, I can have dairy with no consequences
@croaker I don’t think you know what subsistence means in this context… it just means to survive/feed yourself. Like subsistence agriculture means feeding yourself by farming (and was what most people did for most of the last several thousand years)
@croaker Homo Sapiens have always been omnivores. Other species of Homo- might have been less omnivorous, but none have ever been “hypercarnivores”. That’s simply impossible. Even obligate carnivore species like cats (big and small) sometimes eat vegetation to settle their stomachs.
And there’s still plant life in even the driest regions of the world. The unspecified “tribes” you mention also forage and farm. Roots, legumes, and squash are very common in many Central African dishes. There’s a reason pre-historic humans lived in hunter-GATHERER societies. Hunting was unreliable; success wasn’t guaranteed. Foraging was almost always successful.
@croaker yes, gathering was a fallback when hunting was unsuccessful; I’m not disputing that. The primary source of protein and vitamin B12 in the human diet has always derived from meat and animal products. B12 is an absolute necessity in our diet, so I don’t disagree at all that humans have evolved to eat meat.
My original comment was specifically addressing the eating of _raw_ seal/whale meat in humans from between 15,000-10,000 years ago. Compared to 3-5 MYA, our stomachs (and subsequent pH levels) evolved out of the ability to _efficiently_ digest raw meat - other than very fresh fish and beef. Cooked, dried, pickled, and spiced meat keeps for far longer than raw meat - especially in warmer climates (which is why spicy food is seen more often in civilizations closer to the equator). Before the advent of preservation methods, I don’t doubt that humans and our anthropological ancestors were closer to scavengers.
I don’t think we’re in disagreement about anything. We’re just thinking of different time periods.
People like this always underestimate how many vegetables ancient humans ate. They're always like "mm yes meat" when our real ancestors were eating every wild plant they could possibly find.
Literally though. A lot of human diets through history were mostly vegetarian. Eating a lot of meat in ancient times was a sign of major wealth and privilege.
For some reason this comment made me crave salad
He needs the true ancient diet: using up all your energy failing to hunt with a crappy spear, starving for days in the winter and accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms.
Yeah, for most of human history most people couldn't afford to eat meat everyday
They ate everything they could including every living animal they could mange to kill not just plants
As someone who is an anthropology major, it shocks me as to how little research liver king put into the Basis for his entire lifestyle…like literally every single thing he says can be easily disproven with just a tiny bit of prehistorical research…

*THE LITERAL EARTH GENERATES A MAGNETIC FIELD*
I feel like these people that want to live “ancestral” think early humans had strict rules when they were literally just trying to survive. You can bet your ass if you gave early humans a memory foam mattress they would be so happy.
all these languages and you spoke facts
This dude seems to just want to live the stereotype of our “ancestors” or like a movie version of cavemen then what they actually did back then. It’s like a mix of some facts and mostly fiction
I think my ancestors would think I was a moron for sleeping on wooden planks when a comfortable mattress is an option
I can’t believe you glossed over the “simulating a failed hunt” joke, I had to pause to cry laugh for a good 5 minutes
ikr that one was so good lmao
Who are you talking to
That was good. Got me. 😂😂😂👍

Our ancestors 🤝 anabolic steroids
When he says "skin biome" he's referring to the BACTERIA living on your skin. It's a real thing, you just don't really need to do any upkeep on it like he's saying or bathe in pine needles.
goddamnit then what did i gather all these pine needles and mulch for
@@tpgggg humm... Dinner ?
Yes !!
@@tpgggg munch munch
Well, there are a couple of things someone can do to keep that biome healthy, but definitely not bathing in dirty water ahahah
For those unfamiliar with fitness and nutrition:
1. The man is 100% guaranteed on steroids (which wouldnt be a problem if he'd be open about it instead of attesting his physique purely to his insane diets, lifestyle and most importantly obsolete, overpriced supplements etc)
2. In contrast to what he claims, consuming large amounts of liver can be a major health risk, particularly Hypervitaminosis A comes to mind
3. This should go without saying but consuming raw animal parts is also a large risk and will eventually give you parasites and food poisoning, the reason something like beef tartar can be consumed raw is because in the case of beef, most pathogens are found on the outer layer of the meat due to contaminations in the slaughterhouse (this is also why you shouldnt eat burger patties rare)
I think his content is great to make fun of but its scary to think that someone might believe his horrible advice.
I think it's hilarious that they're scared of phone radiation, but is fine with taking gear to look unnaturally big
Educational comment thank you
I’m really concerned about the fact that he’s seemingly feeding his kids raw meat and no vegetables as well. And potentially convincing other parents to feed their children that way.
He isnt on steroids
@@charliemorse738 There’s no possible way that he’s at least 40 years old and looks like that with his insane diet and exercise.
this guy talking about his “skin biome” is like when my dad and brother talk to me about how they’re strengthening their immune system by eating stuff that’s out of date or not washing their hands
The future for your dad -
Doctor: sir, you strengthened your immune system too much, you now have an autoimmune disease. If only you hadn’t challenged it so much!
You can "strengthen" your skin biome by taking 20 x-rays a day. It causes your skin to absorb the radiation and become invincible
Sir this is a pandemic please wash your hands-
Yee what your dad and bro do is nonsense
I'm much smarter than that
I use the "immunity system strengthening" excuse to not wear more clothes when it's cold when my mom tells me to
That would be beneficial if their immune systems were still...y'know, developing. Not really gonna do much for them now except give them a stomachache.
The way he's crying... It's okay man, you can still be the liver king and cry. We all cry.
Okay, so I just said it's okay. But yet, every time I hear him make noises like he's crying, I crack up.
His wife calls him "the Bear" because I'm sure she secretly hates being called "Liver Queen"
Anyways evolutionary biologist Marlene Zuk has a great book debunking these "paleo" people called "Paleofantasy", dismantling these people's arguments about what "ancestral humans" did and why it's actually not great for you. Also, the fact he has no idea what EMF waves actually are or how they work is hilarious to me.
As someone with severe allergies, though, I'm worried for those poor kids.
Don't feel too bad. A lot of these online health people are full of shit & actually aren't dragging their kid's health down with there's. Probably why he dod.t have anything on the kid's plate.
Listen, I’m no historian but I’m pretty sure our ancestors didn’t have pre-packaged vitamins. Especially not ones they had to buy online. Could be wrong though
Or protein shakes. I’d be dying to know what this guy’s logic is. Medicine is bad, but supplements and vitamins (which are usually only needed in certain cases, otherwise it’s just expensive urine or a gateway to a realllllly unhealthy liver (heyyy, maybe that is really his namesake)) are fine. What is the difference? Well, regulatory standards. Same with essential oil crap, what is so natural about having 25 kg of peppermint leaves in a bottle? Why is that going to cure cancer and every other ailment?
Snake oils-men are always carrying on about the profit in healthcare (well, majorly healthcare where it’s not universal and it’s legal to advertise prescription meds). I can understand to an extent the distrust in healthcare under capitalism and the different factors that can play into it. But, the people promoting that make profit from generating distrust leading them to rely on their products and books and whatever else they shill. People will always have health issues, especially with longer lifespans, it’s all about who you turn to- a fraud who profits off of fear, conspiracies and limited “evidence” (largely unfalsifiable anecdotes). Or, medicine which has faults, but has evidence, regulation and standards. Universal healthcare and limiting unethical profits while funding further research will always be the best plan. True holistic medicine involving science and experts is amazing, these scam artists aren’t.
And I'm pretty sure our ancestors did not eat raw meat
I took “biological dentist” as, his wife was born a dentist and has the typical chromosomes. Cisdentist. As opposed to being ADAB (assigned dentist at birth) but identifying as transdentist
Yeah, she does not support ADAB, for they do not live like their ancestors, who accepted their lives as a eye doctors
@@epicgamer-ny4fj THESE are the kind of trans jokes I love.
OOH THIS MADE ME CACKLE

I read this and spat out my coffee laughing. These are the comments I come to UA-cam for

the irony is through the roof
As an archaeologist, this guy’s ideas about our “ancestors” are hilarious.

Oh my gosh! You should totally make a video! I would be so interested in hearing your takes on it :)
same, he makes me want to shred my degree into pieces
U guys r soooo coool!!
ye i thought they would cook the meat over the fire (with sticks and stuff) or that might be just me
Danny is really starting his lvl 1 Wizard arc.
OT! AYEE
Lol
Takes 1d4 damage. Dies
Lmfao
Like the badad he Made
The prophecy is true
(Also HI ONE TOPIC!!!)
It started 10 years ago
I feel kind of bad for his kids. I get being allergic to a shit ton of stuff, but eating raw meat..... uhhhhh no.
Also, Danny, there are things living on our skin.
I would hope to god he would know that, or he just magically turned into the guy he makes fun of in his videos lol
without context that second line sounds so ominous
@loveutill theendoftimes not literally but salmonella is often in raw chicken and bacteria breeds on raw meat 👍
Danny has never heard of bacteria
Bacteria, mostly. The human bodies relies on a ton of micro-organisms to keep everything in balance, be it on the inside or the outside.
Question for liver king: What brand of protein powder did our ancestors use? Also what is the best ancestral protein shake recipe?
I love this kind of sass and skepticism that LK's "lifestyle" provokes, lol.
Also what personal adviser to manage a 10.000$/month anabolics plan they used?
This guy definitely secretly still believes he’s a werewolf

As a physics major it always hurts my soul to hear "magnetic fields" thrown arround so non chalantly specially in sci fi movies. Also! Those electrical wires that power his house lights... They induce magnetic fields
yo.... don't mention the wires, don't send him to us engineers, we have enough problems dealing with the whole 5G people.
For real. What about all small electronics? Your cell phone charger, or LED lights are blasting EMF everywhere
He clearly heard the word faraday and thought it sounded cool and did no other research and now we all find ourselves here.
Right? It's literally how they move electricity. Does he think it's just like a garden hose where all of the electricity flows along under the rubber or something?

Are you here because you watched the lying king and now you gotta rewatch this one
yeah

I feel that it's necessary to mention for those people who are not into fitness that Liver King is 100% enhanced. The amount of muscle mass he has (like, Mr. Olympia level) indicates that he's using dangerously high levels of PEDs. Steroids and other PEDs also wreak absolute havoc on your cardiovascular health, which is likely why he sounds like he's out of breath all the time. So suffice it to say that his projection of healthy living is very contradictory to how he treats his body.
All in all he's just another dime a dozen fitness influencer who tries to sell his products using his "ancestral living" shtick as a unique selling proposition, which is funny considering that, from what he shows in his videos, his training involves a lot of barbells and other modern gym equipment.
Dude's sauced to the gills for sure.
Steroids and a diet that consists mostly of meat… I hope for his and his family’s sake that he’s not setting himself up for heart disease.
Nuh uh he said he was natty. He certainly isn't lying on the internet for clicks and money.
Was just about to comment about the constant heavy breathing, like, that's not natural healthy way for a person to be when they're just standing and talking and you definitely hear stuff and see news about bodybuilders all the time who've had to actually stop exercise and wean themselves off of all the steroids or they'd not survive a month longer.
Yeah it is depressing to be in the position of defending Steroid King but he at least has a grasp on nutrition (I'll still take my Rocky mountain oysters cooked, lol)
"They are not fit to eat like a king so they will be SIMULATING A FAILED HUNT" I'm dying djiskskskwk
I wrote this quote in my journal bc it cracked me up so much
Wtf is djiskskskwk
this line was hilarious and got me cracking
@@shamekhzia9147 It's a key smash.
"I'm dying"
So are his kids💀
"they will be simulating a failed hunt" is comedic genius that will always make me laugh
I can't stop audibly laughing like so hard oh my god ten sets of weeping
Also, if people like this really cared about history, they would know many early humans were not jacked like this. The ones who were thin had a lot of lean muscle because they were constantly on the go when they weren't resting. Bulky muscle like his would slow you down and make you less agile which is not good if you're hunting and trying to stay away from predators like bears and big cats.
True! they also had a higher body fat percentage, and likely rarely exercised for fun... or whatever emotion Liver King is feeling as he collapses from the weights he's pulling.
Nope. “Early men and women weren’t just endurance freaks, they were also burly. Prehistoric agricultural women for instance seem to have upper bodies as strong as of todays collegiate rowers”-Vice
@@drcola143 Key word there is agricultural. Gatherer-hunters weren't agricultural they were horticultural at best.
@@dahkdm8787 yeah, probably during the Neolithic revolution
@@drcola143 So agricultural peoples lived completely different lives than peoples who would regularly have to forage for food. So your quote has no relevance.
the look of pure shock on danny’s dace after brian grunts in pain is priceless 💀
13:04 made me cry from laughing I wonder if he saw that video before shooting or if it was his genuine first reaction
I come back here every week just for that part (around 12:45 )
As someone who's considered steroid use, his body type (and my families heart disease) are why I decided against it. His shoulders are inflated from how the increase testosterone is distributed in your body. His stomach also pops out due to the huge increase in total muscle mass there. You can do things to avoid looking like a top heavy bubble boy. He clearly didnt bother to though. I wonder how much cardio a big boy like that does. I promise our ancestors were thin long distance runners not giant muscle heads.
thank u! Why don't people realize that our "ancestors" lol wtv that is cuz history is way to long and diverse but one thing they all had in common was that muscle was built for practical use. Not for showing off or just for the sake of building muscle
For real, our ancestors ran miles to tire out prey, Im sure this guy gets gassed from a mile.
if anything they'd have had muscular legs rather than a muscular upper body
Seems hard to imagine an ancestral people who coulda survived very long if they all required like 20,000 calories and 700 grams of protein per day lol
I just commented asking someone with steroids knowledge to break this down and then I see this comment 😅 whose gonna tell him cavemen didn't have steroids
although it was obvious he was juicing, it’s funny to rewatch this video knowing the sheer amount of steroids this guy is on
He should really read up on how hunter-gatherer actually lived, how electromagnetic fields work and what they actually are and a bunch of other things because his thought process and reasoning seem really illogical to me. Also, if he actually lives the way he show off on socal media I'm kinda concerned for his kids health.
You can tell how much he hates his kids from the way he writes about them and addresses them. Poor things were just born with health issues (possibly from the mother not taking proper care of herself while pregnant) and now he acts as if they have not 'thrived'. Not to mention that he forces them to live in a super uncomfortable house with no phones or internet connection. This dude sucks.
Yeah tbh his kids look miserable
You think he can read? ;)
Why do some people take crazy diets when they can have a balanced diet which is actually healthy?
Also, he’s saying that he’s “honoring his ancestors”, but I can’t imagine anything more disrespectful than ignoring all of the technological advances that have led to a longer lifespan. Like, your “ancestors” would have probably loved to have a 70+ year lifespan in a house with electricity and a safe way to prepare food…
Don’t forget Some crazy water float things, a big thing and instant kills anything by pushing down on a button and a magical book that speaks.
6:14 dude really said “several professionals all gave us the same, consistent advice, so we, two average Folks, read A SINGLE BOOK and decided we know more than any doctor, then took our childrens’ lives into our own, non-medical professional hands. And you should too.”
People like Brian Johnson don’t know the word “consensus” they only know “conspiracy”
Nah bc my dad works EXACTLY LIKE THIS. IM NOT KIDDING. people like this man will find ONE person who claims to have a title like doctor or professor who says what they want to hear and they will subscribe to every WORD and ignore any other person with physical proof they are bonkers 💀 its so painful
To be fair it sounded like the medication didn't work and they kept trying to get different medications but they kept getting the same one from the docters

Obviously. He is the product of technology like any other modern human. There is an implication that what is natural for us to eat is healthy but there is no real reason for that assumption to be the default position. We are unnatural and live longer.

It's funny how he claims to live "the ancestral lifestyle" by eating raw meat, when humans evolved as we did in the first place by cooking our meat. Insane.
Right. This is what happens when people take “rare steaks are the only way to cook them” too far and just end up guzzling raw testicle
@@jazwhoaskedforthis I still cannot fathom why some people hate their steak even a little bit touched by heat.

Testosterone is a naturally occurring molecule
Yeah lmao. I dunno why people think when someone says 'natural' or 'ancestrial' then it is destined to work but you can literally sell anything with those buzzwords. Even if the seller is the most artificial human being to ever exist. You can say 'ancestrial' but that ain't gonna hide your bubble gut.
