At some point in our past, our intelligence allowed us to realise that if we care for a sick member of our pack/tribe, we can prevent them dying, and thus prevent the loss of a valuable resouce.
Many other apes use "medicine" to care for sick members of their group.
I can't remember if it's chimps or gorillas who, when suffering from an upset stomach, eat a certain plant to treat it.
Tribal humans are still on the menu of beasts.

We are omnivores not carnivores.We are opportunistic in our eating habits and will kill/scavenge and eat meat where possible but we also eat our veggies.Maybe this makes us what we are.I'm not too sure that there are many other omnivores species.
