Since vegetables don't need hunting, I assume the bipedal ape is in design able to eat all, but is primarily in design a hunter.
Having eyes in the front is a sign of an animal who needs 3d vision. Like for example a tree climber. Hunter or prey status doesn't matter, if you need strong 3d vision you'll develop it.
If we look at the intestines and the teeth we do not have the equipment to be a hunter. We ate insects and mollusks. Sometimes a dead animal that we came across. No big game.. It's only when we learned to use our brain to make tools that we were able to kill the big game...
Can you imagine killing a deer with your teeth? It's simply not going to work. We are not designed to be predators... Our canines are pathetic our speed is poor, and our strength just cannot do it.
