I often wonder why mankind is blest with such crooked teeth. I'm not a man of figures but it seems to me that at least one out of five has a dental status like the first Jewish cemetery. How come, did nature play a trick on us?
The rules of Darwin obviously didn't apply anymore. The conqueror of fire, burned its meat and cooked its vegetables. No need to chew anymore, so no need to die because of crooked teeth. Also we didn't have to show our teeth anymore in a standoff, we now had spears. I can only imagine what a laughter this would have given on the battlefield if instinct would still have let us show our teeth when cornered. "He William Wallace, next time brush your teeth before going to battle". Demoralizing the opponent with this old school type of psychological warfare. Well… when come to think of it, a second row rugby player without teeth is pretty horrific and terrifying.
So what will future have in store for us. We invented the machine during industrial revolution so we don't have to move a muscle anymore. In the current digital age on the verge of artificial intelligence we can stop thinking all together. In time mankind will degenerate into our ancestor, the one celled creature amoeba, making the circle complete. In time I say? When looking at the average super sized American from afar, the amoeba era long since have started.
