Would you want an edge to edge occlusion (bite)

[KrissKross]

Our ancestors, before the use of cutlery used to have an edge to edge bite at rest. Now days everyone has a slight overbite which is normal (about 5mm).

"What changed 250 years ago was the adoption of the knife and fork, which meant that we were cutting chewy food into small morsels before eating it. Previously, when eating something chewy such as meat, crusty bread or hard cheese, it would have been clamped between the jaws, then sliced with a knife or ripped with a hand -- a style of eating Professor Brace has called 'stuff-and-cut.'

Basically, if you were raised in a traditional way chewing and biting like our ancestors, you would have a different facial structure.

I extend the obligatory invitation to aspie scientists to discuss and offer their insight on this: @Wincel, join us comrade.

Jesus its like homework at this point... I used to get an orgasm from this shit but now its just wasting my precious free time and preventing me from applying my work. Sorry going to have to pass. This was one of the reasons for my break, not you in particular, most of your questions were legitimate.
