"for millions of years we were constantly fasting, then we hunted and killed animals, eating their protein and fat, no carbs, we were constantly in ketosis"

Those hunter-gatherers of the past certainly did eat whatever carbs they could find - wild roots, tubers etc. Gathering plant-based food was easier than hunting. Most Westerners today eat way too much meat, so I wouldn't recommend replacing carbs with that.
