Human beings have been called omnivores because like chimpanzees and bonobos our close ancestors, we are frugivores, and we also eat nuts and grains. Chimps and bonobo's diet includes about 5% "animals", but almost all of that is insects, not what we identify as "meat".

We are not omnivores in the sense that dogs are omnivores. Even omnivores that eat flesh have different dentition to humans.
