And a glance at a human's teeth is enough to show humans are better suited to a plant diet than a diet rich in cows.

On the other hand, when you look at human stomach chemistry, you find that we are well suited to eating meat -- and especially cooked meat -- although perhaps we should not eat as much as modern people do in places like Poland. And when you look at our primate cousins you find they are like us: the world's most versatile omnivores, capable thriving on just about anything. And we all spring from a long line of insectivores, which are still the chimpanzee's favorite dish. (My father in law likes to eat 'em too.)

People have been using fire and hand tools for so many eons it has apparently affected our evolutionary change. I find that astounding.
