How old is vegetarianism and/ or veganism?

Question by The London Eve on "Veganism":

Do you know of any tribes or ethnic groups that have been practicing vegetarianism or veganism for thousands of years? I understand that the earliest Modern Humans were hunter-gatherers and therefore relied upon animal products to survive and propagate. At what point did vegetarianism or veganism become a viable option. Did it coincide with the introduction of agriculture?

Best Answer:

Answer by That girl you all love to hate
I'm pretty sure some Monks have been vegan for a very very long time. I'm not completely sure though.
