    Complex indeed.

    Could you explain a bit more about what being “built for fruit” means? Built more for fruit than other things or just built to “handle” it?

      Well it’s just a major part of many primate species’ diets, including hominids. Your mileage may vary depending on gut flora etc but humans eat a lot of fruits in general.

        Just because we do as humans doesn’t mean it’s the most nutritious. Look at the diet of koalas for example.
