Looking at Inuit and Mongolian populations for stuff like this would likely be a good approach to actually learn stuff. Almost a strictly meat diet, but without all the confounding variables of sedentary office workers, industrial chemicals, and highly processed foods with tons of sugar.

There's more to it than diet. Genetics also plays a large role. I'd be leery of generalizing dietary advice across ethnicities.

In all likelihood, Inuit microbiota is very far from Western one, at least as long as they don't adapt Western diet.
