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.
Quote:What a bankrupt theory you ever bring up!To a degree, this is true. Many people in developed countries eat MUCH more meat than they need. And I consider this excess, accompanied by suffering as it is, immoral. But I'm asking people to transcend their nature in favor of a moral idea-- not pretending that eating meat is against human nature. I mean, how often do horses adopt the "fashion" of eating meat? Or cows? Or rabbits? Pretty rarely.
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.
Anyway, I'm not sure how your argument that your grandparents were omnivores is meant to support your thesis that people aren't omnivorous.
