the process started ~200,000 years ago, when our direct ancestors (the first H. sapiens) emerged from the rainforest and stopped being able to subsist on their hyperfrugivorous diet which enabled brain expansion to begin with, and at that point we started reverting to a more typical mammalian brain with associated traits like aggression, dominance, territoriality, and so on
humans have coevolved for tens of millions of years with fruit-bearing trees and plants in the tropical equatorial rainforest, a fully mutualistic symbiotic relationship in which they compete to make fruit as nutritious and delicious as possible in order to entice frugivorous animals like humans to eat them, and the unique interaction between their juvenizing biochemistry and our own neuroendocrine system has strengthened that bond immensely, yielding us our long lifespans as well as our large brains and subsequent higher cognitive faculties

All homids are omnivores.

completely false, humans are no more 'omnivores' because we've habituated ourselves to subsisting on dead animal remains for survival purposes than a cow or horse becomes an 'omnivore' because it once ate a chicken, something they've been spotted to do
physiologically speaking, humans, and almost all primates (with the exception of tarsiers), are all monogastric herbivores, with the great apes (chimpanzees, humans, gorillas, and orangutans) being highly frugivorous, although gorillas specialize more on rougher foliage
Carl Linnaeus, the legendary naturalist and biologist who is known as the father of the modern taxonomic system, had this to say on the matter:
>«To say that humans have the anatomical structure of an omnivore is an egregiously inaccurate statement. Man's structure, internal and external compared with that of the other animals, shows that fruit and succulent vegetables are his natural food.»
