This follow logic.
As i already said life in the jungle is very tough so when their natural food is not available or not available in the proper quantity they eat meat and when this become an habit then they will eat it all the time so their teeth and digestive system also change over time unlike human beings which have kept a real fruit, nuts, grain aspect structure.
The reason is that human beings have been eating meat for shorter time then chimps usually mainly during the ice age.
However, in establishing meat-eating in humans, all you need are eyes. It's obvious that people are omnivores: you see them eating all kinds of foods, including meat, all the time. There's really nothing to debate, and you're wasting your time with all this.
Maybe you should circle back to some kind of point. Are you just trying to show that it's not necessary to eat meat to be healthy? Because, right now, it seems your argument is "We aren't naturally omnivorous, so we shouldn't eat meat." And that's a horrible argument.
