Um, go to a mirror and smile. See those pointy teeth on your upper and lower jaws. Those are not for hunting broccoli. In fact, one of the surest signs of human evolution is the reduction in tooth size over several million years.

First you should explain why the vegetarian hippos got their canine 100 times bigger then humans. After this we can start talking about canine teeth.

Were it not for meat eating we would not be sitting here having this discussion.

Quote:One study suggests that the high calories found in meat helped fuel the development of the human brain. The researchers believed it would’ve been impossible for early humans to gather enough calories from meat-free foods to feed their growing brains. If early humans had followed a raw diet (like gorillas), they would have had to eat for a total of nine hours every day in order to consume enough calories for proper brain development. On the flip side, if gorillas were to develop a humanlike brain, they would need to eat 700 additional calories per day — an extra two hours of eating all those greens.



This so called research is nothing else but a theory with no scientific substance at all.
A proper scientific research study everything not just 1 item as in this research.
In my previous post i point out to several facts beside the teeth.
The length of the stomach compared to carnivore, the gastric juices compared to carnivore etc.
I also point out the high incidence and terrible effect that a meat diet has on the vascular system which choke when saturated fats, colesterole and toxins prevent the blood from moving.
When you are prepared to discuss all these factor come back here or better go to any hospital in the vascular units and see if you can find any vegetarian.Thinking
