That's entirely my point, it means that a certain selection of our ancestors had to be omnivores, or at the very least, suited to be omnivores, in order to survive and be termed 'the fittest' when they dropped down from the trees. Our genes don't change in order to adapt, and our genes are what determine us, now a genetic mutation may help but i consider that an anomaly, or else it means that we could all be descended from one person, like blue-eyed people.
