if you compare our anatomy with carnivorous animals , obviously we are not
designed to eat meat the way they do . But when you consider that we don't
have claws or big teeths to kill and that we are clever we might have
specialised in scavenging old carcasses left by carnivorous . As a stilll
timid animal we might have been content with brains , bone marrow,and old
ripe meats  left on them  and  as this rich food makes us more brainy
ourselves we might have learn to steal more courageously from the big
carnivorousl .then we learned to hunt and cooked (to speed up the ripening
process)

to digest meats that are aged the digestive  requirements might be  very
different than to digest fresh killed meat.
