I'm not weighing in on the "you should" discussion, just the idea that pre-humans did eat meat to some degree.

Sleeping outside in the rain is not natural to modern homo sapien apes nor it's direct ancestors h. hidelbergensis or probably even h. erectus.
All these species started losing body hair because they were smart enough to construct protection against the elements. Our modern internal heating/cooling does not support sleeping outside in rainy bushes like a cat would. We started losing that ability once early hominids became smart enough to create shelter.
I don't even know how far back you would have to go to find a ancestor mammal sleeping in the rain?
