Our small intestine is long, compared to the colon, precisely because we've evolved on meat-based diet. By the time the "meat" reaches the colon, there is barely anything left because the nutrients are absorbed by the small intestine.
As opposed to our cousins the apes, who have larger colon and shorter small intestine because they evolved on a plant-based diet.
