Also, I want to point out that our early hominid ancestors are thought to have eaten meat raw, so meat-eating came before the use of fire for cooking:

I don't believe that humans ate raw meat regularly before fire. If there are some cases they did to survive, it doesn't equal to being natural omnivores, because humans can work outside of instinct unlike most of the animals (apart from some primates)
