Omnivorous man

Debunking time!
Sometimes it's just too easy, here's another one.
Right then, first of all let's make a couple of statements.

1. Humans are omnivores
2. All animals have evolved with different adaptations.

Right now let's look at this one statement by statement.

1. No claws - But we have spears, bow and arrow and now hunting rifles which have come our way through evolution.

2. We perspire through our skin. Yes and this made us exceptional hunters as we are able to outrun prey by regulating our body heat.

3. Teeth evolved for cooked food.

4. This is just plain wrong. The human digestive tract is about 30ft from mouth to the butt. Although the human gastrointestinal tract is not as long as that of herbivores such as horses, cattle, or sheep, it is certainly not as short as that of carnivores such as lions or dogs, it's in the middle, think omnivore.

5. Stomach acid - Again a lie. Human stomach acid is about Ph 1.5, the same as many birds of prey. For comparison, a deer is about 5.5 and a dog about ph 4.

6. Yes, we agree here. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase, also called ptyalin, which is capable of breaking down starch into simpler sugars such as maltose and dextrin that can be further broken down in the small intestine. About 30% because starch digestion takes place in the mouth cavity. This is becasue we're omnivores.

Make your choice but don't make shit up.
