apart from what others have said, we’ve also evolved from carnivorous/omnivorous ancestors that practiced endurance hunting. One adaptation we’ve made are forward-facing eyes commonly seen on other omnivorous or carnivorous predators such as wolves, tigers, and bears, as opposed to side-facing eyes commonly found on omnivorous or herbivorous prey such as donkey, bison, elk, boar, etc. Forward-facing eyes have a point to allow us to focus on one thing to chase and remain focused on, where as side-facing eyes have a wider field of vision optimized to detect movement, but isn’t as clear.
