  • Understanding Human Omnivory: The Role of Teeth
    Humans are omnivores, meaning we eat both plants and animals. This is shown by the type of teeth we have:

    * Incisors: Sharp, chisel-like teeth at the front of the mouth, used for biting and cutting food.

    * Canines: Pointed teeth located next to the incisors, used for tearing meat.

    * Premolars and molars: Flat, ridged teeth in the back of the mouth, used for grinding and crushing both plant and animal matter.

    Our teeth are adapted to consume a variety of food sources, which is characteristic of omnivores.
