I'm not a scientist either, but here is what I gather:
1. We evolved hands and the ability to use tools, so using our teeth for
shredding and ripping wasn't necessary.
2. Due to this, our mouths were able to evolve in a shape that allows
speech.

Subject: Human Teeth
My co-worker asked me to explain why our teeth do not appear more like a
"carnivore's". I was discussing why I eat only meat with limited greens
and some fruits. She said if we were meant to eat meat, we would have
teeth more like a carnivore. I asked her what she envisioned, and she
stated something more like a wolf or big cat - teeth made for shredding
and stripping bones rather than the small teeth we have. I am not a
scientist or anthropologist, so I couldn't explain...
Thanks,
trish
