      I mean the source you provided literally says the bottom canines are less pointy and pronounced than the top set, especially in humans, so I don’t feel very corrected? You keep at it though, I believe in you!

        says the bottom canines

        The bottom what? Bottom canines? So you’re arguing they’re not what they are literally called?

          Still dying to know how the tooth’s name at all indicates anything of its function. Canines are literally omnivores. Most primates use theirs for fighting. So please, if you’re done with the ad hominem I’d love to see you try to defend this here comment.

              “garbage” ‘gibbering nonsense’

              Are you a conservative by chance? Masterfully sidestepping the question yet again!

                Was that meant as an ad hominem? I thought you didn’t like those.

                Garbage was a reference to what you were adding to the “discussion”, not you as a person, so doesn’t qualify as ad hominem.

                Same for gibbering nonsense.

                  I ask you questions and you sidestep them over and over and over again and I’m adding garbage to the conversation?

              Are you insinuating that having canines makes you an omnivore because we have been over this several times how almost every mammal regardless of diet has flat molars and sharp incisors, and yes even canines. Heck, water deer have turned their canines into long fangs and they still only eating that herb

                It’s almost like there’s different evolutionary factors of how canines are formed. oh my God what the fuck wow, who could have guessed. 😱 I wonder what the human evolutionary factors were. It couldn’t possibly be a lack of food and a evolutionary benefit of eating a much wider diet or anything.
