Food economy of pre-civilization carnivorous humanoids

+0
−0

Imagine a race of humanoids who only eat meat, and are unable to digest vegetables.

Is it possible for these humanoid to be able too create/gather enough food(meat) to the point that job specialization and large scale population growth can occur?

In real life, humans were able to specialize into many different trades, due to farmers being able to provide enough food for themselves as well as their families and neighbors, so not every single person needed to farm/hunt/gather in order to simply survive.

Would it be possible for these carnivorous humanoids to stop eating up all the prey and think about animal husbandry and factory ranches?
