Why don’t human skulls’ teeth have sharp canine teeth?

923 views

I noticed that complete skeletons don’t have sharp canine teeth and they’re all smooth and straight. Why is that?

Edit: I should clarify that I was looking at pictures of real human skulls and they never had sharp canines.

A lot of people grind their teeth so their canine points go away. We don’t have super big canines like gorillas because we’ve evolved to have smaller jaws due to different diets.
