Scientific fact or personal opinion? Proof?
Looking at the state of our dentition, we have actually evolved smaller mouths. So much so that it has become necessary to cook our food and use utensils on it in order to better eat it.
And yet despite all these eons of evolution, we still desire to and are able to eat the fruits of the trees and the grains of the fields in their natural state.
Everything I learned about this I learned out of my dental school texts. But this is a bit of an explanation, althought I'm sure it won't suffice.

Did you ever look at the human dentition compared to a cow's or a dog's? It represents a convergence of both. The anterior incisors and canines are closely related to carnivores, for tearing and ripping meat, while the posterior molars are better suited to grinding and mashing fruits and grains. We have developed to eat both. Of that there can be no doubt.
