This is something i've been questioning for a long time. I obviously know we aren't herbivores. But the question is do we eat both plants and meat, or just meat, or are we just super adaptive based on our needs. Like say when we eat a vegetable raw that is non-toxic - does our body violently react to it ie stomach cramps? I dunno. I know that monkeys are omnivorous but there have been new evolutionary findings to connect us to other animals/different primates etc so that's not a good source of comparison.
I want to hear everyone's opinion. I'm confused.
Human beings can SURVIVE and REPRODUCE on everything. Every garbage! We are worse than rats. We are non-eradicable. I know happy reproducing and healthy looking people living on pizza and beer. How to die beyond age 40 seems to be irrelevant.
To THRIVE we need animal foods, better: raw animal foods!
Back to your question again:
We can DIGEST fruits, vegetables, fish and meat.
We LIKE the taste of fruits, vegetables, fish and meat.
For me, this alone is sufficient evidence to show that we are omnivorous.
