When scientists such as Loren Cordain examine the fossil record and written records of initial encounters with hunter - gatherers as well as other primates and how we process nutrients biochemically, it's a reasonable guess that the ranges of the combination of macro-nutrients in the average diet of our foraging ancestors were about: 22 - 40 % carbs, 19 - 35 % proteins, 28 - 47 % fats.

Number one is that observations about our ancestors in hunter - gatherer diets show that approximate ratio in most folks: the 20 % carbs, 65 % fat, 15 % proteins granted there are some populations like the Katabans and the Pacific islanders and people like that who gets 60, 70, 80 % carbohydrate but most of them are handling that diet quite well because of their genetic propensity, increased activity of a lot of the enzymes responsible for digesting and assimilating carbohydrates probably better insulin sensitivity and pancreatic production of insulin as well but in most folks we see that this type of diet from just an observational standpoint and an ancestral standpoint works well.
