I'll answer for her: Monkey theet are mostly flat like cows, some species of hominids (like gorilas or macaques) have big fangs due to befend themselves, for display, and for dominance against other gorillas. You're welcome
Actually, we are not anatomically more herbivore.. Our bodies do not produce enough enzymes to digest fibers like cellulose (no cellulase made by humans). Second, our oral cavity is pretty well adapted to chopping meat - the main evidence is the presence of teeth which are made of the strongest bony-like structure material (hydroxyapatite) in our bodies to help us chop hard-to-cut proteins into small pieces. If it wasn't the case, we would have no teeth or very primitive teeth structures to barely aid the digestive process like for swallowing and mixing green stuff. Another strong evidence is the mode of absoption of iron and other elements. Human bodies absorb iron mostly from red meats and not from vegetables which explains why most vegans are diagnosed with microcytic anemia. Also, our strongest muscle is located in our jaws (the masseter), its presence also explains why we are more carnivore than herbivore..

Beating about the bush. Humans have evolved from herbivores. There are no evolutionary signs to suggest that humans can consume meat like carnivores. Without cooking it first.
We really don't need to cook it. The only reason we do is because modern factory farming practices suck. I think the real reason we started cooking was because we grew attached to the temperature of a fresh kill. I say this as a person that tried veganism for ethical reasons. We def more carnivore then anything else. Just social carnivores which I think is why we adopted a couple other carnivores, cats and dogs, into our families. Once I realized this, it started making it blaring clear.
That's one indicator, but there's many others. Just by teeth it's hard to say, but it does seem to be the case that carnivores, at least the obligate ones (those that eat only other animals to survive) do have shearing teeth. That is teeth for breaking off and slicing tissue and they mostly swallow it whole. While humans have chewing teeth and jaw anatomy that allows for chewing (carnivores in general can't really chew ) which is useful when you eat plants and you have to grind down the plant matter a bit before you can extract nutrients out of it in your gut.
I can answer this for you real quick: you can live off of only vegetation for a lifetime, but you will die in a matter of years if you live off only meat. We're primarily herbivorous, with adaptational carnivorous traits.
I agree. It makes sense that our paleolithic ancestors ate some meat because, in times of scarcity, you eat whatever is available. Also, you don't have to worry about chronic diseases when most people won't live past 30 due to injury or infection.
Neither. Evolution means you are still what your parents are. The question shows a misunderstanding of evolution. It’s like saying you “y’all think you evolved from your second cousin”.

Your body utilizes 30% of the animal proteins you eat, it utilizes 17% of the plant proteins you eat. Most full herbivores either have 2 stomachs or have a completely different ph in their digestive system than we do. We have also been around for 3 million years in our current state and have had cultivation for 10k years, that is 1/3 of 1% that we could even have this conversation.

@@empyrean196 we are intelligent enough to make anything from anything. Unfortunately that doesn’t mean that it works for our bodies just because we can

Hello there! If you're curious about your body and want to learn more about how it works, watch our other Anatomy videos. You can also click the video button to find similar, fascinating content. For more topics, click on our Channel Icon.
I study comparative anatomy and there shouldn’t even be a question here. If we were herbivores we would have huge guts to ferment fiber, tall or specialized teeth to grind it, laterally facing eyes to watch for predators, and tiny brains because grass is nutritionally garbage. Our basic body plan evolved to eat INSECTS. We’ve always been predators. We took a detour toward plants and fruit and then went right back to being predators because we always had those tools available anatomically. We obviously don’t have the giant guts like gorillas to ferment our food anymore and our teeth are comparatively TINY. The fact of the matter is we need to eat both. We need the carbohydrates and fiber from plants to feel full and get energy and the proteins and fats from meat to build our bodies and brains. We’re true omnivores. But if you had to pick which ones we’re closer to anatomically we’re definitely closer to carnivores. The only reason we can even still eat this many vegetables at all is because we cook them. All of our staple foods (potatoes, grains, rice, even most veggies) are poisonous or nearly indigestible raw. We have to soak and heat them at the very least. It’s not my fault people aren’t comfortable with us being the scary meat monkeys but that’s what we are. Edit: Thinking about it more, the question is innately flawed because it assumes a binary scale between carnivore and herbivore when in reality omnivores certainly have unique features, like our multivariate teeth, color vision, and medium sized guts that make us well suited for eating both and incapable of choosing one or the other. So really this is like asking which color is red closer to, green or blue? It’s not closer to either, it is its own thing entirely. To assume a binary would be incorrect.
I think it’s based on blood type .Because some can handle raw fruit/vegetable diets and some cannot but it also needs to be non gmo because natural has more nutrients.But looking at the human body most of us are given fingernails to peal fruits teeth aren’t exactly optimal for meat but it works
And plus were not talking abt eat grass like a cow more like fruits and vegetables and there alkalines when eating alkaline foods the body operates best because of the ph like eating to much of certain things raise the ph in the stomach and cooked meat sits in the digestive system a lot longer than fruits and vegetables.like for example I’m literally full of shit at least 5 to 10 pounds and if you eat processed foods and cooked meat chances are you are to .because cooking meat makes it more carcinogenic and it sits in the stomach way longer
Uh Red is closer to green. So, ya. It's called the visible light spectrum lol. Other than that, excellent answer. Just the whole red green blue thingy, uh red then green then blue. Green is closer to blue than it is to red though. So there's that
Yes. VERY simple observation can tell if we're herbivores. They are called principles: you are what you eat. People who have a diet of fruits, veggies, and legumes tend to live much longer and healthier lives. Take the Blue Zones, for example. Blue Zones are places where the people live to be "centarians" based on a diet of vegetation and exercise.
We have cuspid and insisor teeth. Evolutionarily developed to tear meat. If we were herbivores we’d have mouths full of nothing but flat molars to grind plant fibres into digestible sizes. Since we have both types of teeth, I will say Omnivore for the win. Eat what you want.
Actually, many of our primate cousins have large fangs yet are herbivores. While in our culture, you have a right to eat what you want, it doesn't change the fact that more carnivorous diets will lead to the chronic diseases that will kill most people in the developed world.
@@kuriosites I guess you’ve never witnessed a gorilla ripping a howler monkey apart while its still alive and eating it? And there is literally no way to get enough protein from plant sources for healthy muscular development. One only needs to look at vegans to see how tired, pasty and anemic they are.
propaganda. humans are more carnivore. look at stomach acidity and appendix size. there is no herbivore that has an appendix like a human or stomach acidity like a human. but carnivores have an appendix like a human and also a stomach acidity like a human.
Yeah but there are a couple things called convergent and divergent evolution. Our ancestors diverged as meat is what allowed us to make it through the last million years. Grain and vegetarian diets are an experiment as agriculture is only a few thousand years old. Considering our appendix shrank to the size of a pinky finger, it's mostly futile, and wrought with Crohn's, UC, SIBO, and autoimmune conditions from the leaky gut this creates.
It’s been some time since I’ve looked at it so correct me if I’m wrong but our teeth are very similar to species that eat fruits and veggies. So I’d lean more towards herbivore but we’re obviously capable of just about devouring everything
Our brains are sharper than our teeth, and with our hands too we are stronger than our jaws. It's hard to analyse our diet from our physical appearance because we can apply so many processing steps before the food even gets to our mouths to be chewed and swallowed.
The question is bad because yeah we developed to eat fruit and insects. Which is not the same as a carnivore eating large game OR an herbivore eating grass and leaves. We don’t have the teeth or guts to eat grass and we don’t have the claws or teeth to hunt that way. It’s not a binary scale omnivore is a third direction.
We were originally created to be herbivores as explained in the first 3 books in Genesis. But after the Great Flood, God gave man permission to kill animals for meat (Genesis 9:3)
Omnivore. It's why we can live nearly anywhere and even filling out into the areas where plants don't grow much at all. Elimination diets can help sort out problem points. One thing is for certain tho- standard american diet is not the answer 🙃 and none of us have ancestors with this much access to cheap, inflammatory sugars.
This is so funny. There is an answer to the question. We have our BRAIN, part of human anatomy, because we ate cooked meat. It is a form of predigestion. Breaks food down so your body spends more time developing other things instead of digestion. Cows have 4 stomachs and swallow rocks to help break their food down. We need protein more than any other vitamin. The reason people say I can't give you a definitive answer is because they don't like the answer. Most allergies to food are from vegetables fruits, grain, seeds and nuts. A baby and adolescence needs protein way more than adults as well. I had a friend who put her baby on an all vegan diet and she ended up in the hospital for malnutrition and she almost lost her kid over it. *I am not saying this is for 100% everyone. Always check with your doctor and do what's right for you.
Because we use Heme Iron to synthesize every vitamin the body needs, I would say that meat eating is most important for us. The only vitamin we can't get from Heme is Vitamin C (which is why people got scurvy and didn't understand why, since they were eating plenty of meat and bread).
Interesting. Did we ever eat uncooked meat, and if we did what effect did that have on our digestive system and overall health? We do know if we're going to eat raw meat we better do it quickly because of the pathogens that contaminate meat relatively quickly and makes us very ill, or can even kill us. 😮
You should see those people who eat high meat(it’s spoiled meat) they claim it’s good and gets you high but then they upload for a lil while then you never see them again I’m assuming dead people can’t upload.Now the people that eat raw meat or blood there fine but the more you cook meat the more carcinogenic it is
I don’t know, but I do know one thing I’ve seen herbivores chow down on dead animals, giraffes, eating dead birds, or kills from lions. Not the bones but the meat I’ve seen donkeys kill and eat coyotes. I’ve seen a lot of herbivores, especially cows, eating animals in if you don’t believe me, TH-cam it.
Yes it can. We’ve been eating meat for thousands of years. Hunters/ Gatherers. People would to think that salads and all that bullshit is great and earring strictly vegetables is good but they are wrong. Have you heard of essential carbs? No because carbohydrates are not essential gif growth but protein is. The best protein sources come from animals
We're omnivorous, but how efficiently your body processes different types of nutrition depends largely on your body chemistry and your ancestry. Some cultures consume more fruits/veggies/grains, some consume more meat & dairy, and others are a pretty even mix of everything. For example, a tribe that has existed in Africa for 1000s of years use blood and milk from cows as their primary source of nutrition and they're perfectly healthy, but if you put them on a diet of processed food they would probably die as their bodies have been conditioned over time to survive on nothing but blood and milk.
I want to be solely carnivorous, but I'm not. That's just not practical in this economy. I enjoy a healthy balance of red meat and fresh greens. With somebody thrown in otherwise.
Look up Paul saladino and his version of the carnivore diet, which is the same diet that the hadza tribe still follow today. If you want to understand what humans would naturally eat, look at tribes alive today. We can eat more foods because of modern so-called "innovation", but that doesn't mean its beneficial.
I definitely know 1 thing , my ancestors was not monkeys or apes. If you think our ancestors are monkeys /apes, try fasting an ape for a week and that ape will be dead. 💯💀
Sometimes it's our bodies themselves that decide which we are. Some of us have a lot of stomach trouble with either plant foods or meats, and we have to eat accordingly.
It truly does suck I'm actually allergic to milk (had to drink goat's milk as a baby), I can't eat any fruit with a peel (I can eat berries), I'm allergic to corn, and some other foods. The only thing I NEVER have a problem with is real meat. I can have problems with processed meats. @@Anarko55555
haha who cares, I'm an I-eat-whatever-I-like'vore - if it's healthy for me, good, if it kills me, good, at least I will know I lived and died happy; but seriously, it is nice to be mindful regarding nutrition or at least practice some form of moderation and sensibility
I wish people were more mindful of the suffering animals go through just bc you like how their body taste. It's ridiculous carnism is still the status quo in 2023
I'd definitely call us omnivores, as we really do need to eat from both to be healthy, but animals can be facultative or obligate (a polar bear is a facultative carnivore, as they can eat fruits and grasses despite their main diet being meat; meanwhile deer, sheep, cows, and other ungulates will actively seek to eat baby birds despite mainly eating grasses) (koalas are an example of obligate herbivores, since they can only eat eucalyptus leaves, whilst cats like lions or your housecat are obligate carnivores, although they sometimes may chew on grass, think its either as a digestive aid or pleasure) As stated in the short, humans were originally herbivores, but they eventually evolved to be able to digest, likely because it's easier for herbivores to be able to eat meat than for carnivores to start eating their veggies due to the length of their intestines. So yes, Lois 🦌 would've gladly dined on that steak 🥩
The shear amount of people healing disease (full remission in many cases) after adopting a carnivorous diet tells us all we need to know. If you dont already know someone personally who's healed on the carnivore diet, you will.
Also the fact that people who go on carnivore diets have healed their diseases. I just watched a video on this. A man healed his gum disease and his cloudy eye cleared up slowly while on a carnivore diet.
Not really. Modern world has created diseases or made them more prevelant. Then worse. People with conditions can live to reproduce. They pass on to these genes to their children, and children's children. Before they'd probably die. I think we ate what was available. We've modified plants and animals alike for the last 10,000 years at least. Even dogs are different than wolves when it comes to diet. Milk lactose gene didn't show up till very recent. 10k years as well? Something like that. Anyway that spread like wildfire through much of the population.
Not really. How many plants contain gluten? We can break down a lot of vegetables and obtain lots of nutrients from them. We would be very limited to which animals we could eat without tools. It would mainly be insects and smaller animals. Which is what other primates eat in very small quantities. But it’s mainly fruits and leaves.
@@infinitedeath1384So have people on a vegan diet. It’s really more about what you don’t eat rather than what you eat in that case. Water fasting can also heal a lot of illnesses.
Simple observations do tell us a lot. It’s not hard to see the human anatomy is herbivorous. It’s also not hard to see we eat a lot of things our body was originally not meant to. I.e.-flesh(but almost exclusively cooked), grains(often cooked), GMOs, processed foods. It’s also not hard to see many people have adapted to gain benefits for eating such things. I.e.- healthy raised fish, chicken, venison, eggs. Finally, it’s not hard to see illness in most people who eat unhealthy things they shouldn’t.
I’d say we’re omnivores. I got that big brain 🤓

Some herbivores also eat other animals in order to gain certain nutrients that usually aren't present in their herbivorous diet.

it does.
That’s what I thought.
Close your mouth fully and grind side to side like a horse. You can't if you're human.
We didn't develop our brains until we ate cooked meat.
Until we started to eat a lot of starches, the brain consumes sugar, meat doesn't have it.
Looks like it isn't the deal with you sadly

Hello there! If you're curious about your body and want to learn more about how it works, watch our other Anatomy videos. You can also click the video button to find similar, fascinating content. For more topics, click on our Channel Icon.
I study comparative anatomy and there shouldn’t even be a question here. If we were herbivores we would have huge guts to ferment fiber, tall or specialized teeth to grind it, laterally facing eyes to watch for predators, and tiny brains because grass is nutritionally garbage.
Our basic body plan evolved to eat INSECTS. We’ve always been predators. We took a detour toward plants and fruit and then went right back to being predators because we always had those tools available anatomically.
We obviously don’t have the giant guts like gorillas to ferment our food anymore and our teeth are comparatively TINY.
The fact of the matter is we need to eat both. We need the carbohydrates and fiber from plants to feel full and get energy and the proteins and fats from meat to build our bodies and brains.
We’re true omnivores. But if you had to pick which ones we’re closer to anatomically we’re definitely closer to carnivores. The only reason we can even still eat this many vegetables at all is because we cook them. All of our staple foods (potatoes, grains, rice, even most veggies) are poisonous or nearly indigestible raw. We have to soak and heat them at the very least.
It’s not my fault people aren’t comfortable with us being the scary meat monkeys but that’s what we are.
Edit: Thinking about it more, the question is innately flawed because it assumes a binary scale between carnivore and herbivore when in reality omnivores certainly have unique features, like our multivariate teeth, color vision, and medium sized guts that make us well suited for eating both and incapable of choosing one or the other.
So really this is like asking which color is red closer to, green or blue? It’s not closer to either, it is its own thing entirely. To assume a binary would be incorrect.
I think it’s based on blood type .Because some can handle raw fruit/vegetable diets and some cannot but it also needs to be non gmo because natural has more nutrients.But looking at the human body most of us are given fingernails to peal fruits teeth aren’t exactly optimal for meat but it works
And plus were not talking abt eat grass like a cow more like fruits and vegetables and there alkalines when eating alkaline foods the body operates best because of the ph like eating to much of certain things raise the ph in the stomach and cooked meat sits in the digestive system a lot longer than fruits and vegetables.like for example I’m literally full of shit at least 5 to 10 pounds and if you eat processed foods and cooked meat chances are you are to .because cooking meat makes it more carcinogenic and it sits in the stomach way longer
Uh Red is closer to green. So, ya. It's called the visible light spectrum lol. Other than that, excellent answer. Just the whole red green blue thingy, uh red then green then blue. Green is closer to blue than it is to red though. So there's that
@@charlie6992Main dude gave an intelligent well thought answer. Then your answer, kinda like totally, Rayturdrd
It’s closer to blue on the color wheel, though, so…
Yes. VERY simple observation can tell if we're herbivores. They are called principles: you are what you eat. People who have a diet of fruits, veggies, and legumes tend to live much longer and healthier lives. Take the Blue Zones, for example. Blue Zones are places where the people live to be "centarians" based on a diet of vegetation and exercise.
My teeth and stomach say they are carnivore i have a easier time chewing and digesting meat then vegetables or fruits or any plants
We have cuspid and insisor teeth. Evolutionarily developed to tear meat. If we were herbivores we’d have mouths full of nothing but flat molars to grind plant fibres into digestible sizes. Since we have both types of teeth, I will say Omnivore for the win. Eat what you want.
Just a quick google search and you'll find out this is just nonsense
Actually, many of our primate cousins have large fangs yet are herbivores. While in our culture, you have a right to eat what you want, it doesn't change the fact that more carnivorous diets will lead to the chronic diseases that will kill most people in the developed world.
@@kuriosites I guess you’ve never witnessed a gorilla ripping a howler monkey apart while its still alive and eating it? And there is literally no way to get enough protein from plant sources for healthy muscular development. One only needs to look at vegans to see how tired, pasty and anemic they are.
@@kuriositesAmen
blue zone diets? the twin studies? worth mentioning here
We switched to being scavengers and never looked back, that's when we got taller and smarter.
Switching to hunting meat accelerated us forward. The extra protein helped develop the neo-cortex.
@@folkloreofbeingyes. this. meat and fire to pre break down our starch and fiber are 100% of how we supported our big brains
Evolution is so slow that it’s kinda bullshit it’s real but slow asf
WE ARE CARNIVORES AND WE EAT RAW MEAT
lmao 300,000 years. *shows picture of humanish ape* 😂🤣😂🤣
propaganda.
humans are more carnivore.
look at stomach acidity and appendix size.
there is no herbivore that has an appendix like a human or stomach acidity like a human.
but carnivores have an appendix like a human and also a stomach acidity like a human.
Rabbits have a stomach ph of 1
We're more closely related to other apes like chimpanzees and bonobos, which are herbivore. Not so close to lions, I'd say.
Yup
Yeah but there are a couple things called convergent and divergent evolution. Our ancestors diverged as meat is what allowed us to make it through the last million years. Grain and vegetarian diets are an experiment as agriculture is only a few thousand years old. Considering our appendix shrank to the size of a pinky finger, it's mostly futile, and wrought with Crohn's, UC, SIBO, and autoimmune conditions from the leaky gut this creates.
@@j-sm4554both of those are omnivores
It’s been some time since I’ve looked at it so correct me if I’m wrong but our teeth are very similar to species that eat fruits and veggies. So I’d lean more towards herbivore but we’re obviously capable of just about devouring everything
Our brains are sharper than our teeth, and with our hands too we are stronger than our jaws. It's hard to analyse our diet from our physical appearance because we can apply so many processing steps before the food even gets to our mouths to be chewed and swallowed.
The question is bad because yeah we developed to eat fruit and insects. Which is not the same as a carnivore eating large game OR an herbivore eating grass and leaves.
We don’t have the teeth or guts to eat grass and we don’t have the claws or teeth to hunt that way.
It’s not a binary scale omnivore is a third direction.
I definitely think we're more carnivore and it doesn't seem like a hard question
Humans dont have any predatory adaptations. We are clearly herbivores.
@@Justinegallows i got 4 big sharp ass canines in my mouth that say otherwise
Carnivore. Especially red meat RULES!
*than ?
We were originally created to be herbivores as explained in the first 3 books in Genesis. But after the Great Flood, God gave man permission to kill animals for meat (Genesis 9:3)
At NO TIME in human evolution were humans ever vegetarians. Once I heard that from a legit scientist, I had heard enough.
Omnivore. It's why we can live nearly anywhere and even filling out into the areas where plants don't grow much at all. Elimination diets can help sort out problem points. One thing is for certain tho- standard american diet is not the answer 🙃 and none of us have ancestors with this much access to cheap, inflammatory sugars.
"Digestive speaking"? Is he mad? Probably not, just knowing nothing.
This is so funny. There is an answer to the question. We have our BRAIN, part of human anatomy, because we ate cooked meat. It is a form of predigestion. Breaks food down so your body spends more time developing other things instead of digestion. Cows have 4 stomachs and swallow rocks to help break their food down. We need protein more than any other vitamin. The reason people say I can't give you a definitive answer is because they don't like the answer. Most allergies to food are from vegetables fruits, grain, seeds and nuts. A baby and adolescence needs protein way more than adults as well. I had a friend who put her baby on an all vegan diet and she ended up in the hospital for malnutrition and she almost lost her kid over it.
*I am not saying this is for 100% everyone. Always check with your doctor and do what's right for you.
Because we use Heme Iron to synthesize every vitamin the body needs, I would say that meat eating is most important for us. The only vitamin we can't get from Heme is Vitamin C (which is why people got scurvy and didn't understand why, since they were eating plenty of meat and bread).
Green Vegetables,nuts , and fruit contain iron man.
@@charlie6992plants contain non heme iron. That’s his point
@@charlie6992
Solid iron manz
that is Reet
Interesting. Did we ever eat uncooked meat, and if we did what effect did that have on our digestive system and overall health? We do know if we're going to eat raw meat we better do it quickly because of the pathogens that contaminate meat relatively quickly and makes us very ill, or can even kill us. 😮
That's a very strong argument against early humans being scavengers.
You should see those people who eat high meat(it’s spoiled meat) they claim it’s good and gets you high but then they upload for a lil while then you never see them again I’m assuming dead people can’t upload.Now the people that eat raw meat or blood there fine but the more you cook meat the more carcinogenic it is
I don’t know, but I do know one thing I’ve seen herbivores chow down on dead animals, giraffes, eating dead birds, or kills from lions. Not the bones but the meat I’ve seen donkeys kill and eat coyotes. I’ve seen a lot of herbivores, especially cows, eating animals in if you don’t believe me, TH-cam it.
Yes it can. We’ve been eating meat for thousands of years. Hunters/ Gatherers. People would to think that salads and all that bullshit is great and earring strictly vegetables is good but they are wrong. Have you heard of essential carbs? No because carbohydrates are not essential gif growth but protein is. The best protein sources come from animals
Why do we have the stomach acidity of a carnivore come scavenger? What hsppened to our secum. Yeah...totally herbivore yo
We're omnivorous, but how efficiently your body processes different types of nutrition depends largely on your body chemistry and your ancestry. Some cultures consume more fruits/veggies/grains, some consume more meat & dairy, and others are a pretty even mix of everything. For example, a tribe that has existed in Africa for 1000s of years use blood and milk from cows as their primary source of nutrition and they're perfectly healthy, but if you put them on a diet of processed food they would probably die as their bodies have been conditioned over time to survive on nothing but blood and milk.
I want to be solely carnivorous, but I'm not. That's just not practical in this economy. I enjoy a healthy balance of red meat and fresh greens. With somebody thrown in otherwise.
Look up Paul saladino and his version of the carnivore diet, which is the same diet that the hadza tribe still follow today. If you want to understand what humans would naturally eat, look at tribes alive today. We can eat more foods because of modern so-called "innovation", but that doesn't mean its beneficial.
I definitely know 1 thing , my ancestors was not monkeys or apes.
If you think our ancestors are monkeys /apes, try fasting an ape for a week and that ape will be dead. 💯💀
Some carnivores, especially canines like wolves and dogs, like to eat grass to deal with indigestion, does that make them herbivores?
Wtf are you taking about?😅😅😅 It pretty obvious from biology that we are more carnivore
I’ve only eaten plants since 2016… my question is what does your body need?
.....uh omnivore?? The world isn't dualistic
We do know. Meat is far superior nutritionally to plants. It’s not a contest. And these are the facts.
humans are carnivores - we've hunted hundreds of species to extinction for that sweet meat.
Sometimes it's our bodies themselves that decide which we are. Some of us have a lot of stomach trouble with either plant foods or meats, and we have to eat accordingly.
PERIOD
i got an iron gut and a fast metabolism so im pretty good at eating everything i come across LOL

It doesn't matter what are we closer too. The fact is if we thrive eating both..
haha who cares, I'm an I-eat-whatever-I-like'vore - if it's healthy for me, good, if it kills me, good, at least I will know I lived and died happy; but seriously, it is nice to be mindful regarding nutrition or at least practice some form of moderation and sensibility

I agree with that except for processed food.

@@sergiocanalles2316 PFFFF HAHAHAAHHAHA ok this was hilarious. Who was your biology teacher in middle school again?
i heard that humans are technically frugivores, like other primates. that makes sense to me, but im not sure if it's true or not
I'd definitely call us omnivores, as we really do need to eat from both to be healthy, but animals can be facultative or obligate (a polar bear is a facultative carnivore, as they can eat fruits and grasses despite their main diet being meat; meanwhile deer, sheep, cows, and other ungulates will actively seek to eat baby birds despite mainly eating grasses) (koalas are an example of obligate herbivores, since they can only eat eucalyptus leaves, whilst cats like lions or your housecat are obligate carnivores, although they sometimes may chew on grass, think its either as a digestive aid or pleasure)
As stated in the short, humans were originally herbivores, but they eventually evolved to be able to digest, likely because it's easier for herbivores to be able to eat meat than for carnivores to start eating their veggies due to the length of their intestines.
So yes, Lois 🦌 would've gladly dined on that steak 🥩
Humans dont need meat, and nutritional science tells us to eat little to no meat.
Humans are clearly herbviores
Omnivores because unlike herbavores, we have some spiked teeth, and we have a gallbladder to ramp up extra acid in response to animal fat and tissue.
Herbivore s also have spiked teeth. And a gallbladder is to help digest fat, not ANIMAL fat.
The shear amount of people healing disease (full remission in many cases) after adopting a carnivorous diet tells us all we need to know. If you dont already know someone personally who's healed on the carnivore diet, you will.
Absolutly nobody has cured any disease from a carnivore diet.. There is no evidence.
If we are herbivore, then why are there no essential carbs for humans?
Gluten sensitivity, being unable to digest fibre and many more things paint a clear picture that we’re primarily carnivores.
☝️this.
Also the fact that people who go on carnivore diets have healed their diseases. I just watched a video on this. A man healed his gum disease and his cloudy eye cleared up slowly while on a carnivore diet.
Not really.
Modern world has created diseases or made them more prevelant.
Then worse. People with conditions can live to reproduce. They pass on to these genes to their children, and children's children.
Before they'd probably die.
I think we ate what was available. We've modified plants and animals alike for the last 10,000 years at least. Even dogs are different than wolves when it comes to diet.
Milk lactose gene didn't show up till very recent. 10k years as well? Something like that. Anyway that spread like wildfire through much of the population.
Not really. How many plants contain gluten?
We can break down a lot of vegetables and obtain lots of nutrients from them.
We would be very limited to which animals we could eat without tools. It would mainly be insects and smaller animals. Which is what other primates eat in very small quantities. But it’s mainly fruits and leaves.
@@infinitedeath1384So have people on a vegan diet. It’s really more about what you don’t eat rather than what you eat in that case.
Water fasting can also heal a lot of illnesses.
Humans are clearly herbivores
Simple observations do tell us a lot. It’s not hard to see the human anatomy is herbivorous. It’s also not hard to see we eat a lot of things our body was originally not meant to. I.e.-flesh(but almost exclusively cooked), grains(often cooked), GMOs, processed foods.
It’s also not hard to see many people have adapted to gain benefits for eating such things. I.e.- healthy raised fish, chicken, venison, eggs. Finally, it’s not hard to see illness in most people who eat unhealthy things they shouldn’t.
For sake himself...let world stuff😢
So end of story every human has a different gut that favours one side .
I too think we started as an herbivore because after fire discovery we started eating animal protein
we are still herbivores

okay so in the book Leviticus of the Bible meat and flour is told by God to be eaten by the Levites. so... we are meat eaters and
The bible? Wtf...
I want meat. you keep the fruit.
Id say frugivores
we dont come from Apes..
Eat meat repeat!
LOL, we are absolutely not herbivores. We do not have the digestive system necessary to process plants well. Cows have 4 stomachs, get a clue.
Humans are monagastric herbivores.
We have one stomach and ferment fiber in our colon
Not all herbivores are ruminants...
We are omnivores
