Cause, unlike all other natural carnivorous Animals on Earth… Humans do not have Teeth equipped to tear flesh to eat… infact, when we compare the Pattern of Teeth of Human, with that of other Animals in nature, then, Human has Teeth similar to those of the Herbivorous… isn’t it so..??

Indeed cannibalism, in the form of human flesh eating is still prolific is some societies. The flesh of humans does not differ greatly from mammals, when cooked. It is the thought of the act, of consuming another human being you find abhorrent.
Carnivorous persons eat meat, but frown upon cultures that eat dogs, cats, horses. Generally it would be difficult to fry the pet goldfish with your chips on a friday evening.
Or serve up the cat for sunday lunch. It just doesnt seem right somehow....

Humans are a product of many evolutionary changes over thousands of years.. Man is an omnivore, and is suited to eat both plants and animals.. We definitely are the descendents of carnivorous ancestors, but have evolved to become omnivores.. We have adapted ourselves to the various different climatic conditions..
As for the teeth, what else do you think canines are for?? These pointed teeth are absolutely for tearing flesh.. Look at a dog's canines.. They are definitely sharper than ours, but then we are not exclusive carnivores.. As the need decreased, the sharpness of our canines also decreased.. In other words, we have adapted ourselves to be omnivores.. Our teeth are somewhere between those of, for example, dogs and cows.. Cows donot have sharp canines cuz they donot need them.. We have sharper canines than cows have..

If we follow the idea of humans evolving from primates (who are omnivores by nature), then I would have to say that we are omnivores.
I think we should ask, though, what it is that primates descended from? I think that if we look far enough back into time, then we are bound to find some carnivores that we are related to.

Humans are omnivores, eat both plants and animals, not easy get full nutrition from eat plants only. Look at your canine teeth, compare with other animals, just smaller than lion or other carnivore.

humans have evolved over the centuries, so the teeth and body structure we have now, isn't the one we had when we actually killed and ate as animals do. So yes, based on this, I believe tha we were carnivores back then, and are now.

The incisors and canines are well adapted to eating flesh, as the molars are adapted to eating plant materials, so I'd say we are probably omnivorous by nature.

who said we came from carnivores..... hunter gatherers (10,000 BCE ) were canrnivores not there origins. the original primates eat nuts berries fruits bananas etc ........................meat eating evolved over time

No we are descendants of omnivorous creatures.

I believe that primitive man didn't eat meat, but only berries and other vegetation.
