are humans more carnivores or herbivores
1 Human anatomy is much more similar to herbivores than carnivores. 2  If humans are omnivores because we're capable of eating meat, then so are cats, since most cats eat plant foods every day. 3  If we're supposed to eat animal foods, the evidence suggests it's a tiny part of our diets, not a large one.

That’s right. Humans have characteristics of herbivores, not carnivores or omnivores — because omnivores, like bears and raccoons, actually retain most of the carnivorous characteristics, so that they are still able to digest and hunt their prey, and do so effectively.he appendages of carnivores are claws; those of herbivores are hands or hooves. The teeth of carnivores are sharp; those of herbivores are mainly flat (for grinding). The intestinal tract of carnivores is short (3 times body length); that of herbivores, long (12 times body length). Just because humans can eat meat doesn’t mean they should. Carnivores have no choice – they have to be blood-thirsty, evil bastards to survive. Omnivores on the other hand can get away with acting like herbivores because our bodies make due with whatever we toss in ‘em.f humans are herbivores and thus unable to properly digest animal products, I’ll have to clarify that the “Them” in my blog name refers to actual carnivores and omnivores, not omnivore pretenders like humans. But I don’t want to have to do that. This means that humans are much more similar to herbivores than we are to omnivores. The problem with most people's conclusion that humans are omnivores is that they don't take into account the factors of culture, custom and training.ur canine teeth, like that of herbivores are short and blunted. Omnivores in general will have much sharper teeth than herbivores and humans do. 3. Our incisors, again, similar to herbivores are broad, flattened and spade shaped. Omnivores have shorter and more pointy incisors, similar to those of carnivores. 1 Carnivorous animals have intestinal tracts that are 3-6x their body length, while herbivores have intestinal tracts 10-12x their body length. 2  Human beings have the same intestinal tract ratio as herbivores.3  Stomach acidity. 4  Carnivores’ stomachs are 20x more acidic than the stomachs of herbivores. Carnivorous animals have intestinal tracts that are 3-6x their body length, while herbivores have intestinal tracts 10-12x their body length. 2  Human beings have the same intestinal tract ratio as herbivores. 1 Stomach acidity. 2  Carnivores’ stomachs are 20x more acidic than the stomachs of herbivores. 3  Human stomach acidity matches that of herbivores. 4  Saliva. 5  The saliva of carnivores is acidic. 6  The saliva of herbivores is alkaline, which helps pre-digest plant foods. 7  Human saliva is alkaline. Carnivorous animals have intestinal tracts that are 3-6x their body length, while herbivores have intestinal tracts 10-12x their body length. 2  Human beings have the same intestinal tract ratio as herbivores. 1 Carnivores have claws, sharp front teeth capable of subduing prey, and no flat molars for chewing. 2  Herbivores have no claws or sharp front teeth capable of subduing prey, but they have flat molars for chewing. 3  Humans have the same characteristics as herbivores. Carnivorous animals have intestinal tracts that are 3-6x their body length, while herbivores have intestinal tracts 10-12x their body length. 2  Human beings have the same intestinal tract ratio as herbivores. Comparison between carnivores, herbivores and humans. When you look at the comparison between herbivores and humans, we compare much more closely to herbivores than meat eating animals. Humans are clearly not designed to digest and ingest meat. 1  Meat-eaters: have claws. 2  Herbivores: no claws.ll omnivorous and carnivorous animals eat their meat raw. When a lion kills an herbivore for food, it tears right into the stomach area to eat the organs that are filled with blood (nutrients). While eating the stomach, liver, intestine, etc., the lion laps the blood in the process of eating the dead animals flesh. Are we omnivores, carnivores or herbivores? It’s important for animals to eat what they are physiologically and anatomically designed to eat, to improve the chances of survival and health. So, what are humans designed to eat? Dr. Sofia Pineda Ochoa discusses this often misunderstood topic.he appendages of carnivores are claws; those of herbivores are hands or hooves. The teeth of carnivores are sharp; those of herbivores are mainly flat (for grinding). The intestinal tract of carnivores is short (3 times body length); that of herbivores, long (12 times body length).
