But your eyes are like a dog's, or a cat's, or a bird of prey's. They are forward-facing and binocular rather than widely spaced to survey for the movements of predators. That allows for excellent depth perception, which carnivores need for chasing down prey.

You are right that there seem to be many similarities between our bodies and the bodies of herbivores. Others are also right when they say that there seem to be many similarities between our bodies and the bodies of carnivores.

This could reasonably lead you to the shocking conclusion that (drumroll, please) we are adapted for both eating vegetation and eating meat!
