there is a neat chapter in Wisdom of the Bones about BMI - body mass indexes(if I recall correctly)- which involve ratios of mass in animals- and humans, in order to grow their brains, lost gut- because they had to keep the ratio in balance, so to feed and grow the expensive organ of a larger brain the gut was shortened and we became carnivores- since carnivores can get rid of all that extra gut herbivores need to process plants, and a carnivore gets a lot more bang per pound of food than an herbivore.
