Are humans actually evolved to eat meat as we are the only animal that has too cook it I've recently stopped eating meat and haven't really missed it were we ever really ment to eat it
Yes. Humans are not carnivores but we are natural omnivores.
The evolutionary evidence -?
1. the length of our intestine. It's longer in relation to body size than that of a pure carnivore (like a cat) but shorter than that of a pure herbivore (like a sheep).
Plant fibre is much harder to digest compared to meat and requires a more time - consuming digestive process, hence a longer digestive tract.
2. our teeth. Human pre-molars have jagged points for slicing into meat, while our molars have a flat surface for grinding plant matter. Pigs, which are also omnivores, have the same mixed set of teeth; whereas pure carnivores and herbivores only have one type.
3. humans can live vegetarian no problem without supplements, but not vegan. We do not require actual meat as such ; what we do require is vitamins B12 and D3, plus certain proteins which are almost exclusively animal - sourced (though these can be covered by dairy products and eggs).
So yes we evolved to be natural omnivores, but a secondary evolution also took place once we learned to cook meat. It makes it easier to chew and to digest, so over the generations we lost the strong teeth and aggressive stomach enzymes of our early ancestors.
The same goes for vegetables though. Modern humans cannot adequately break down the tough cellulose of plant materials without either cooking (not for too long though, steaming is better) or grating.
If you eat a raw carnot you will get little nutritional benefit other than fibre. In order to extract the vitamin C and A you need to prepare it in some way. For vitamin A in particular you need to consume some kind of fat at the same time (butter over cooked carrots or oil in a carrot slaw dressing) because it is fat - soluble.
