Our jaws can only bite upwards. So you can’t actually bite down.
Our jaws have evolved to be able to open wide and move up and down to chew food. Because of the shape of our teeth, the jaw is only able to move upwards and cannot move downwards. This means that our jaws are not able to actually bite down.
Thank you for reading my writings. If you’d like to, you can buy me a coffee for just £1 and I will think of you while writing my next post! Just hit the link below…. (thanks in advance)
Andrew, you got me looking very odd, moving my jaw about to test this theory out. You are quite right and I’ve never realised that! I bet many people reading this will be sitting there doing the same thing 😀.
