evidence: The best evidence that humans are omnivores comes from the teeth. Humans have short canines that are a functional consequence of having an enlarged cranium and associated reduction of the size of the jaws. In other primates, the canines are comparatively longer than humans as they function as both defense weapons and visual threat devices. Interestingly though, both Gorillas and gelada baboons prefer vegetarian diets. Humans may have no need for long pointy canines as carnivores do for such use, particularly for capturing prey and threatening enemies. They do have canines that are pointy enough to serve the purpose of tearing meat. The molars and premolars, in turn, are used to crush food.
