    Pandas stopped eating meat about 3 million years ago. That’s before the first being of the genus Homo appeared. Not Homo Sapiens (that was 300 000 years ago), but Homo Habilis (2.5mio years ago).

    If evolution can take us from something that’s barely an ape to humans in that time frame, you’d expect that it can fix an omnivour’s digestive system to work with plants.
