...”Our ancient human relatives had jaws like nutcrackers that allowed the hominids to chomp down on hard nuts”...

I thought all hominids like to chomp on hard nuts...?

“Our ancient human relatives had [big thick] jaws”

this is the same tripe that had aboriginies in zoos because of their “thick big jaws”

by this evolutionist thinking, aboriginies are “less evolved”.

which is nonsense. anyone can develop a thick jaw IN THEIR LIFETIME by eating hard foods. a study of the habitually unshod found that their feet bones became EXACTLY the same as “ancient man”.

these studies are meaningless. their outcome is decided before they are even carried out.

heavy tooth enamel

curious that modern humans would lose this very necessary-to-survival attribute.

For cracking nuts...Instead of hitting them with a rock?? Sure....I believe even gorillas use rocks to crack them.

Our current jaws are more than ample for cracking nuts. Its our teeth that aren’t, and theire teeth weren’t much different from ours.

If they had Nutcracker moustaches, that would be news.
