At one time, Man would have eaten sh*t,probably after finding the odour so irresistible - in the same way flies and worms do - scooping it up greedily and quickly wolfing it down with relish before selection kicked in and GRADUALLY turned 'him' off it. But why didn't selection favour this rather unrefined habit, and thus promote 'recycling' in its purest form? And why do we -'instinctively' - now find the smell revolting..

At the time that prehistoric man was eating his own poo, his digestive system was equipped to handle it. Modern man could not do this without becoming very ill. We find the smell of our own feces revolting because we have evolved to the point where our stomachs cannot digest it. Even if our poo smelled delicious, man has been conditioned not to eat it.

"There are many diseases that are spread through contact with human waste (cholera, dysentery, hepatitis, measles, polio, typhoid fever, amoeba, giardia, hookworm, pinworm, roundworm, tapeworm, trichina worm)."

Avoiding waste is survival related. Those that didn't avoid waste got sick and didn't reproduce.
Human waste is also that which our bodies didn't process the first time. It's also stuff that our bodies are getting rid of as it's harmful.
The smell of waste triggers the gag reflex. This is also survival related. First it's a great warning to avoid something and second the retch or vomit rids the body of anything that's been contaminated by waste. The flies and worms that find waste so attractive are also some of the major disease carriers.
