Look at our teeth, mostly plant chewing teeth.
- throwawaymath 8y agoIs that true? How do we determine that our teeth are primarily intended for eating plants?
- pakitan 8y agoYet our gut is optimized for a meat based diet. Our digestive system resembles more the one of lion than the one of our closest cousin - the chimpanzee. In his book "Sapiens", Yuval Harari talks about how we literally drove into extinction something like 90% of the biggest animals on Earth. And that wasn't because we competed with them for the juiciest grass fields.
