Ever since humans switched from hunter gatherers to agriculturalists our diet has switched from being high effort low calorie foods to low effort high calorie foods. Ever since this transition malocclusion steadily has been on the increase including the development of crooked teeth and smaller jaws. Its important to chew hard foods to stimulate the jaw to develop properly so it has space for all adult teeth. Archaeological finds from the late neolithic age can confirm how robust and horizontally developed the mandibles of our ancestors were. Our diet is becoming incredibly soft and with shit like vitamin tablets and soylent (all memes aside) we no longer need to use mastication to consume all our nutrients. The modern diet is too high in carbs and lacking heavily in protein. Truth is the agricultural revolution was a double edged sword, It was the only reason humans were able to establish civilizations but at the cost of our health.
