Knives and other tools have fully replaced teeth for those who like it that way. Full meal drinks like Soylent, and other teeth advancements like high tech dentures, etc, render normal human teeth obsolete in the modern world if you so choose.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoForget Soylent; our biology merged with our technology millennia ago. Our ability to cook our food has rendered large molars obsolete to the point where some people require medical intervention to remove them, lest they crack their teeth and jaw, resulting in infection and death.
- goialoq 9y agoMolars aren't dangerous because we cook food. Molars are dangerous because our brains were so useful that they took over the head space that molars were using, and tooth problems were less harmful than bigger brains were helpful
- pavel_lishin 9y agoInteresting, I thought our mouths and jaws shrank after we didn't have to rend raw meat and plant materials.
