I agree with this because the people who had to hunt for food have tougher meat to chew, so their jaws would be stronger and large. On the other hand, people who lived/live off crops like corn and wheat, will most likely have smaller jaws that wouldn't be as strong as the people that hunt for meat jaws.-rt

I agree with this article. Eating meat that is not processed is much tougher than meat that has been processed. This is probably one of the reasons that people are having dental problems and have to wear braces. It is a big problem to have a lot of teeth but not a mouth large enough to hold all of those teeth.
