I don't claim this to be entirely true, BUT, it is very interesting none the less.
1:
Carnivore: Teeth are long, sharp and pointed. No flat molar teeth. Sharp canine teeth.
Herbivore: Front and canine teeth may be sharp or pointed. Back teeth are flattened for grinding.
Human: All teeth are flattened, especially the back molars. Dullest canine teeth of all primates.
2:
Carnivore: To facilitate tearing and biting, jaw can only move up and down (vertically).
Herbivore: To facilitate the grinding of vegetable foods, jaw can move both up and down and side to side.
Human: To facilitate the grinding of vegetable foods, jaw can move up and down and side to side.
3:
Carnivore: No lip or pouchy cheek structure.
Herbivore: Adaptable lip and pouchy cheek structure.
Human: Refined lip and pouchy cheek structure.
4:
Carnivore: Shape of the face allowed the carnivore to dig into a carcass and rip out the entrails.
Herbivore: Shape of the face allows the animal to pull vegetation off of plants.
Human: Shape of the face clearly indicates that humans have no ability to rip out entrails with their mouth.
5:
Carnivore: Forward-facing eyes; binocular vision.
Herbivore: Herbivores with predators: radial eyeset for wide field of vision. Herbivores without predators: forward facing eyes; binocular vision.
Human: Forward facing eyes; binocular vision. Humans have no natural predators.
6:
Carnivore: Drinks water by lifting it into the throat with the tongue.
Herbivore: Drinks water by suction.
Human: Drinks water by suction.
7:
Carnivore: Tongue is rough and thin.
Herbivore: Tongue is smooth and thick to manipulate vegetable matter into the back molars for grinding.
Human: Tongue is smooth and thick to manipulate vegetable matter into the back molars for grinding.
8:
Carnivore: Zonary placenta.
Herbivore: Placenta non-deciduate.
Human: Discoidal placenta.
9:
Carnivore: Intestines are 3 times as long as the trunk of the body; their design facilitates rapid expulsion of fleshy matter.
Herbivore: Intestines are at leasy 8 to 12 times as long as the trunk of the body; they are desgined for extracting all nutrients from plant fibre.
Human: Intestines are at least 12 times as long as the trunk of the body, and an integral part of the most sophisticated juice extractor in the world: the human digestive system.
10:
Carnivore: Liver contains uricase, an enzyme used to break down uric acid; it can break down 10 to 15 times are much uric acid as an herbivore.
Herbivore: Liver has a low tolerance for uric acid.
Human: Liver has a low tolerance for uric acid.
11:
Carnivore: Bowels are smooth and short for quick expulsion of waste matter.
Herbivore: Bowels are sulcified and complex for the reconstitution of waste matter.
Human: Bowel walls are puckered, convoluted, and full of deep pouches for the reconstitution of waste matter.
12:
Carnivore: Digestive system has the capacity to expel large amounts of foreign cholesterol.
Herbivore: Digestive system has no capacity to expel foreign cholesterol.
Human: Digestive system has no capacity to expel foreign cholesterol.
13:
Carnivore: Saliva is acidic.
Herbivore: Saliva is alkaline.
Human: Saliva is alkaline.
14:
Carnivore: Blood is acidic.
Herbivore: Blood is alkaline.
Human: Blood is alkaline.
15:
Carnivore: Urine is acidic.
Herbivore: Urine is alkaline.
Human: Urine is alkaline.
16:
Carnivore: Cools itself primarily through action of the tongue and mouth (panting).
Herbivore: Cools itself primarily through perspiration.
Human: Cools itself primarily through perspiration.
17:
Carnivore: All four feet are clawed (to rip into flesh).
Herbivore: All four feel are hoofed (cloven) or hands and feet contain individual digits (fingers or toes) with nails.
Human: Hands and feet cintain individual digits with nails and opposable thumbs. Hands are perfectly designed to reach out, grab fruit and peel it.
