As shown above, among land mammals over 10 LBs, herbivores have longer gestation (>8 months) and give birth to
one baby at a time.
Omnivores have shorter gestation (<6 months), give birth to multiple babies at once.
Given the complexity of the brain, a longer gestation period of herbivores
(9 months) provides more time for brain development of a single baby
in the womb. Evidence.

Based on pictures among apes, the more meat in the diet, the smaller the brain & body.
