“Meat Made Us Human”, Or not.

This item in the news has attracted my attention first because it reminded me of a banner on the walls of my biology class in HS, with the quote by F. Engels, "Labor Made Us Human". That Engels' speculation AFAIK never had any scientific support but was good for Marxist propaganda. 

Now this other narrative appears to be a result of sampling bias. This is interesting by itself. But, I also have a question. Even if there were a correlation between the dietary change and anatomical changes in human evolution, how a causal relation between them was deduced?
