Debunking the myth of forward-looking carnivores
I had a conversation last weekend, can’t remember how it kicked off but it was said that we (that is, humans) are born carnivorous. I said no we’re not, we’re born omnivorous. At that point, the person I was chatting with waved a hand in front of her face and pointed at her eyes. “Eyes at the front,” she said. “Not on the sides.”
This is an old, tired myth that is still supported in some scientific circles in defiance of the facts not fitting the theory even among today’s lifeforms, let alone the fossil record.
