Common physical characteristics of Omnivores that we lack

Orangutan Dog Brain Size
Omnivores :

1.  Are long (length) and short (height).    * We are Tall, like giraffes, gazelles, kangaroos, camels, llamas and horses.   

Q: How come we are the only omnivore that is Tall?

2.  Have Four (4) long sharp conspicuous zigzagging canine teeth.    * Our teeth are flat and look like horse and cow's teeth.  

Q: How come we are the only omnivore without 4 long sharp zigzagging canine teeth?  How come our teeth are flat and look like horse and cows’ teeth?

3.  Have a short gestation period.   * Our gestation period is 9 Months, just like a cow, gorilla, or orangutan.

Q:  If we are omnivore, why does our gestation period match the cow’s gestation period (9 Months) ?  

4.  Give birth to multiple (>3) babies at once.   * Like other herbivores we give birth to 1 baby at a time.

Q:  If we are omnivores, why do we give birth to one baby at a time like Herbivores ?

5.  Based on photos, among apes (our cousins), the more meat in the diet, the smaller the body and brain.

6.  Have high % of Protein in their milk.    * Human breast milk has the lowest % protein of all herbivores.
    The human brain grows and develops fastest during the first 6 months of life.  
    The Best food for a human baby is human breast milk which has the Lowest % Protein of all animals, even less than Herbivores - less than 1% by weight, for Comparison cow's milk has 3 times more protein than human breast milk.   

Q:  If we are omnivores and protein is so vital & essential for our brain’s growth and development, then how come during the period of fastest brain growth and development (0 to 12 months age, a baby), the human breast milk (best food for a baby) has the lowest % protein of all animals - even less than other herbivores (< 1% by weight) ?   

Would it not be logical to conclude a reverse correlation between amount of protein in diet & brain size (see #5 above) ?
