Well, that's arguable... barely. The human body may be equipped to eat insects and possibly small fowl, but not much more than that.

As far as "adapting as a species," I think the most adapting we've done is migrate to colder climates and learn how to kill and cook species that are BIGGER than us, simply out of necessity. The human species survived and grew bigger and stronger because of it. That's adaptability.
