You think early humans ate raw livers for vitamin C? Sounds unlikely. We are omnivores, and except for rare exceptions (I.e. on the Northpole) plant material is more abundant than animals.
Yes, sufficient Vitamin C is in raw liver.
Before the age of human agriculture we were endurance hunters. Don't believe me? Go survive off of random unidentified plants for a while. (Don't actually, you'll be dead in a month tops).
That's discounting the cultural plant knowledge that those hunter gatherers had.
100k years of 'Don't eat that, it kill Grog remember?' can lead up to a pretty extensive safe list of wild plants as well as a bunch of useful healing herbs.
We've long since forgotten most of it, having not needed it since agriculture.
I'm unaware of these 100k year documents, please present it.
