Let's not look at religion or personal opinion. Let's look at humans and science, in general.
Are human beings naturally Herbivores (eat only plants), Carnivores (eat only meat), or Omnivores (eat both plants and meat)? Why?
Watch the 2 videos below: After watching the videos, answer the question above and explain why you think so.
## remember to come back to the blog and read other comments and reply.
I think human beings are naturally Herbivores.
ReplyDeleteBecause humans like us is a kind of primates hominid in the mammals.It means we are fellow with gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans.There are only few difference in genetically human and primates,so it is thought that the corrosion resistance also would be the same.
The staple food of primates hominid which has 40~60kg is fruit.So our staple food of humans are thought that it is fruit.
There are some people don't eat vegetables or meats, but naturally, I think all humans now are Omnivores.
I think the reason why humans became omnivores is because of the process of evolution.
I think your idea is understandable , but I don't believe in evolution.
DeleteI agree with you.
DeleteI think source of human is kind of monkeye.
They are eating many plants but they need to eat some insects for their health.
So, I agree your opinion, the evolution.
I think human beings are omnibus.
ReplyDeleteWe always eat both vegetables and meat. Maybe ancient people ate them, too and also ate nuts. They hunted animals to eat meat, collected vegetables and nuts to eat them, so human beings have been omnibus since once upon a time.
These days there are many vegetarians in this world but i think they are special people. Almost people are omnibus.
I think so too.
DeleteHerbivores are few in the world compared with the omnivores .
I think human beings are naturally
ReplyDeleteOmnivorous.
Almost the people eat meat and vegetable because eating both is good for their health.
But our shape of teeth are good for eating vegetables because our teeth are not sharp and our teeth are similar to animals which eat vegetables.
Anyway I think human beings are naturally Omnivores!!
Kaede
DeleteI think so too. I have never seen vegetarian, so there are few people that couldn't eat meat. And of course we eat both vegetables and meat to keep body & health
I think human beings are naturally omnivores.
ReplyDeleteHuman has canine teeth to cut the meat and molar to mash the vegetables.Thats mean we have carnivores and herbivores both teeth.
If human were either carnivores or herbivores, then people are only eating meat or vegetables. But we are eating vegetatables, meat, fish, nuts and many kind of food so humans are omnivores.
I noticed Kaede and you have different idea of human's teeth... Which is true?
DeleteI think human beings are naturally omnibus.
ReplyDeleteWe need much nutrition. The nutrition is contained meet and vegetables. So we have to eat meet and vegetables.
Also, I think eating is enjoyable thing so we shold choose way which I want to do or easy to do.
I want to many things so I'm omnivore!!!!
I like your opinion!!!hahaha:)I think so,too.
DeleteI think human beings are naturally herbivore.
ReplyDeleteA crop has nutritions that the people in the area the crop grew need but an animal doesn't have them. For example, a watermelon grows in hot and dry weather. To eat watermelon is good way not to get sick from the hot weather. It is more efficient to get much nutritions to eat vegetables than meats. So human beings are herbivore.
I agree with you!
DeleteI think humans are naturally herbivores according to my beliefs from the bible. We were made to eat plants and herbs,but because of calamaties humans before started to hunt and eat meat.The second reason I think humans are naturally herbivores is the structure of our teeth. It's good for eating vegetables. But because of many changes of weather and environment, humans learned how to eat meat. Naturally humans are herbivores,buto now humans are omnivores.
ReplyDeleteHello Joshua (and everyone!). This is Oli. I have a question. Joshua, you say here that, "because of many changes of weather and environment, humans learned how to eat meat." That sounds just like what evolution and the fossil record tell us:
Deletehttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-22752937
Basically this article says that fossils show ancestors of humans (not yet humans), who were originally herbivores, began to move into different areas, different environments and so their diet changed at the same time. We became omnivores. That sounds just like what you said... Why is it evolution is difficult for many Christians to accept I wonder?
Does your family have a dog? There are many dog breeds in many people's homes all of which were originally wild, but over hundreds, and thousands of years humans have bred dogs with the characteristics we like, chihuahuas, poodles and Labradors, etc (actually I really don't like chihuahuas). Is it so difficult to see that the changing environment and nature could do the same to all life over millions and hundreds of millions of years? We can see our close connection to Chimpanzees, who are our closest relatives and also omnivores, in our DNA which is only has about a 1% (on average) difference. What do you think is wrong with the ideas and fact of evolution? Please tell us!
(typed from Akane's paper by Huskey)
ReplyDeleteI think human beings are naturally Omnivores. Because pigs and cimpanzee are both Omnivores. A human being is most similar to the DNA is most similar to the DNA such these animals. Therefore human beings are Omnivores.
However they couldn't eat meat at first, because their teeth were like herbivores. Then it was hard to take out shit than Carnivores. I think human beings have envoled from Omnivores. Because they don't have power without eat meat and easy to hunt animals.
Yes,I think so too.People should eat meat and vegetable.
DeleteI think human beings are naturally Omnivorous ..
ReplyDeleteAccording to my grand parents they have a farm so they eat lots of vegetables and they also eat meat.
Eating too much meat could be danger for our health. But they keep valance of Nutrition.
They are both eighty seven years old but they can walk like young man . And they are still eating vegetables and meat .
And also eating breakfast lunch , dinner is important to live healthy life.
I think they were herbivores at first.But now they changed to be omnivores because humans learned how to eat meat now.
DeleteI think human beings are naturally Omnivorous.
ReplyDeleteBecause my home economics teacher said we have to eat nutritious foods and it is not good to eat only vegetables or meat. So Eating both vegetables and meat is good:)
i think so, too. Our body needs a balanced diet to deliver vital nutrients.
DeleteI think meat eating is better than vegetarian meat has B12 that is good point
ReplyDeletefor people . Arroding to the research vegetarians tend to die faster than meat
eating people
And I want take about ecological balance if people don't eat beef pork and
chicken the number of cows pigs chickens will increase in the world ecological
balance will be broken people don't have place to live don't have food to eat
we will die
In fact many people can without meat they just said vegan is good of health but
they also eat meat
i agree with you. our body need B12.
DeleteSome people said that humans are made to be plant eaters, but I think we are clearly naturally omnivores because in my research, it is said that our teeth are a mix of those that carnivores and herbivores have, showing an evolutionary path that proves we are able to process both.
ReplyDeleteWe can't survive perfectly well on a herbivorous diet with no meat. On the other hand, we will get ill from 100% carnivorous diets due to lack of certain vitamins and minerals. For the human body to properly function, it must have chemicals found in plants and animals. Also, like what the girl said in her video, we can eat anything that is available whether it’s plants or meat. So, I think we are omnivores.
I think human being are naturally Omnivorous.
ReplyDeleteBecause people need alimentation to live longer.To eat well-balanced diet is make our body good.It`s not eat meat more and eat many vegetable.
I think to kill animals is not good,but I don`t want eat only vegetable everyday.Also eat only meat everyday make me sick so I want to eat vegetable and meat.
I think humans were herbivorous animal because the origin of humans were monkey. Monkeys were herbivorous animals so I can say humans ate plants. Now humans eat meat. The reason why humans started eating meat is because of the process of evolution. Humians needed more energy for evolution. For example, humans started walking on two legs needed more energy than before. That is one of reasons I can say humans were herbivorous animals.
ReplyDeleteThe other reason is most humans cannot eat raw meat. If humans were carnivorous animals, they absolutely ate raw meat before they found fire. Now when we eat raw meat, we must have stomachache.
that's why humans were herbivorous animals.
I like your opinion. But I want to say one thing to you.
DeleteMonkeys are not herbivorous animals. They are Omnivorous animals.
Of course they are eating many plants, but also eat othere foods.
But I like your opinion. I think human not eat raw meat so often. People are not strong with food poisoning. Do you think people will be a strong with that in the future?
I think human being are naturally Omnivorous because I have molar and canine teeth
DeleteThe ancients ate meat and plant. So I have them.
Ms. Aida said our body needs many kinds of nutrition, but vegetarian cannot take B12. It is important for us. So I think we should take a good balanced meal.
I think human beings are Omnivores. if we eat only vegetables , our body will be hormonal imbalances, no energy and anemia something like that. Too much eating is not good for our health, forexample heart disease. so we need balance. we eat vegetables and meats we need both.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I can not do anything without meat. We shoud eat good balance meal.
DeleteI think human beings are naturally Omnivores.
ReplyDeleteBecause the origin of human is an ape-man(first humankind).
They were looks like monkeys. Monkeys are eating vegetables, fruits, and some insects. They are eating many plants but not only plants. So I think ape-man were eating not only plants, too. Of curse I don't think they were eating meat like we are eating. Now, we need to eat meat or fish's meat for our health. In the past human were eating insect, but now we are eating meat. I think that is evolution of humankind. So I think human beings are naturally Omnivores.

I think human are naturally herbivorous because first humans don't know to eat animal.But no meet is not good for our helth and also the situation is always changing because of weather and environment...And human rearized to eat animals is need.So I think to eat both is good for us.
ReplyDeleteThough my research human beings are omnivorous,a 1500000 years old children skull fragment analysis provides the earliest evidence of human is a carnivorous .if we eat less meat or no meat will cause inanition or anemia, it shows people need meat!
ReplyDeletebut from this web page :http://www.chinabaike.com/z/twht/news/2011/06...
it said "We don’t anatomically match up with omnivorous animals anymore than we do with carnivorous ones. Omnivores are more similar to carnivores than they are to herbivores. "
In my opinion, is the earliest human are herbivors.because the earlest human had farming life, it shows people prefer to eat grain
According to the video.It said the earliest human are herbivores.In my opinion they were herbivores because they did not have too much tools to cook the meat delicious.So they thought the plants are safe and delicious to eat.But now humans learned how to eat meat,Naturally humans were herbivores ,but now humans are omnivores,
ReplyDeleteI think the omnivores are the most around our lives.Some people do not eat meat because they think there is too much fats in the meat .They want to have a diet.But is it a good way to diet?! I believe that vegetables are good to diet.But only the vegetables？Of course no,because the balanced is bad.They said that we need more than 30 kinds of food one day.If only the vegetables it is not enough.Some people do not eat meat because of their religion and parents .That is I remembering I have a friend and she is the Hui nationality .That`s means she can not eat pork.There was a mess hall in our primary school and every students would eat there in the afternoon .But only she ate in the classroom with herself everyday.I thought she is different from others.She has no choice but to be a vegetarian.
I really agree with rio's idea!
ReplyDeleteSome people says that our ancestors are monkeys like gorrila or other animal.So I think we, humans are herbivoers too!
but I really like eating meat for no reason so... mabye my ancestor was a carnivore!
Delete↑there are many spell miss but dont mind!sorry!
I think human being are naturally omnivores. We have two types of teeth that's proving we can eat both. If we eat only vegetables or meats, needless to use canine teeth or molar teeth.
ReplyDeleteWe can eat meats and I love meats. If humans are vegetarian I couldn't know how delicious meats are. How juicy meats are. That's so cruel.
I agree your opinion. Humans have two types of teeth. It's pointing humans are omnivores. We can eat meats and vegetables then we can take both good nutrition.
