Taking things too literally:
-Humans aren't carnivores, we're omnivores, so we wouldn't be lumped in with wolves and falcons anyway. Crows and hermit crabs maybe? I guess those don't sit well with the eye comparison.
-Iirc, the eyeset has almost nothing to do with what they eat, and more to do with helping them see predators
Bears are omnivorous - front facing eyes
Helping them see predators, because herbivores are on the bottom of the food chain. We, as humans are on the top of the food chain, meaning we eat other creatures
Not tryna argue here just tryna elaborate
I didn't think you were arguing haha since you pretty much said exactly what I was trying to say. A bear is probably a more impressive example than a hermit crab either way.

Incidentally iirc that's also why goats have horizontal pupils, whereas predators low to the ground (snakes, alligators, etc) have vertical pupils

Also I just realize you said we eat other people. -insert obligatory willy wonka quote about that being called cannibalism-
Huh. Never would have guessed ‘cownivores’ ate meat due to mineral deficiency. Apparently, ‘A huge range of herbivores, including deer, camels, giraffes, pigs, cows and sheep, are known from time-to-time to eat other animals [...] The cow’s behaviour might be motivated by a mineral deficiency... But [...] bird-eating in bovids and deer may actually just be a fairly normal bit of behaviour that we’re only beginning to document.
