I got bad news for you mister.
If you really want to dig the remains of the past then you will be surprised to find that our far far ancestors have similar characteristics to the present humans.
No sign of whatsoever that he was omnivore, and this guy was living over a million years ago.
"Eurydice", Australopithecus robustus
Discovered by André Keyser in 1994 at the Drimolen cave in South Africa. Estimated age is between 1.5 and 2.0 million years. This is an almost complete skull and lower jaw of a female, one of the most complete hominid skulls ever found, and the first significant fossil of a female robustus. A fossil of a male robustus lower jaw, nicknamed Orpheus (DNH 8), was found a few inches away from it. (Keyser 2000)

Quote: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.
What a bankrupt theory you ever bring up!
It is amazing!
The food habit is like the fashion habit.
It comes and go according so many factors.
My grandparents use to eat meat in small quantity once a week.
Their proteins came from beans, nuts and whole cereals.
Now it is a fashion to eat meat everyday.
Quote: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.
Tell me why we humans do not salivate when we see raw meat so we can continue the talk.
