Point is, chimps are our closest cousins, right? It's well known they bare their teeth as a sign of aggression- is this so surprising? Teeth can easily represent a certain degree of predatory health in the same way that claws or horns might- they are tools for consumption, their alignment being a representation of one's ability to effectively and (in a sense) genetically process one's food adequately. Poor teeth are typically indicative of a hygiene deficiency or perhaps in a natural sense, old age. They're often reproductive indicators for our species, and we have evolved a sort of social style to their representation as symbols of mirth or egotistical aggression, rather than that of simple, standoffish violence and threat. But if a person has imperfect teeth in the midst of this realization, are they truly to blame? Do we so often choose the most voracious mates? Is aggression of attraction anymore? Or are we past that?
Perfect teeth are for dinosaurs because they need them. To rend flesh and leaf for pure, programmed consumption. We're certainly not past that dynamic by any means, but we can take it into consideration as a point of judgment, whereas reptiles probably could not afford such a luxury. |
lol you're digging yourself a very deep hole. Perfect are seldom if ever found in nature and have little to no bearing on survival. Perfect teeth only occur through human intervention for cosmetic reasons. Dinosaurs like all living creatures didn't have any greater need for perfect teeth. Btw, I'm not even arguing with you because you don't have a leg to stand on.
