How did we as a species survive the period when beavers had teeth?

Beavers teeth are 7 million years old? Get out of here. He is only in his 60's today. Nice try though.

The pair of teeth

A toothless beaver is an indication of poor dental hygiene.... There's nothing worse than a beaver with bad breath.....

7 million years ago there was a civilization of Beavers in what was going to become the USA.

I’m still trying to figure out the physical workings behind the Bering Land Bridge.

During an Ice Age, sea levels would drop because of all the water locked up in the enormous ice layer. But wouldn’t the Bering Strait, since it is so far north, be right in the worst possible spot and therefore deeply buried under the ice? So much for that theory, unless we assume the ice cap made a detour around the green and inviting Bering Strait region. Umm ....

But between Ice Ages, the sea level would be much higher, so the Bering Land Bridge would be deeply under water. Strike two.

Anybody know how this thing was actually supposed to work?

I’m sure these can’t be real because it ignores evolution. the beaver can’s be evolved to such a high state that it stops evolving for 7 million years. What beaver wouldn’t benifit from being able to flap it’s fury wings and fly to a new pond. These teeth are just random shapes that happen to look like teeth but have nothing to do with beavers.
