If you are beleiving in the evolution of religion like this, isn't it logical to consider that the idea of stopping meat consumption was an evolution of human thought too? They must have discovered that abstinance from meat was a superior to consumption of it - and must have faciliated their practice. Animal killer will tend to more cruel than one who does not do it, and is more in tune with the principle of non violence. If you do not feel bad at the sight of splitting of an animal head, then your heart must possibly be made of stone, immune to the suffering of others.
