Existen modificaciones evolutivas en adaptación a diversos entornos, a lo que se suma la evolución de órganos especializados y entre modos de alimentación unas especies se distinguen de otras por su dentición lo que ha creado argumentos sobre por qué se mastican los alimentos y sobre el comportamiento de matar para alimentarse, lo que a su vez también ha generado cambios en la morfología de la mandíbula, hocico y dientes; que incluye a los humanos. Sobre lo descrito y otros aspectos relacionados comento en el video.

There are evolutionary modifications in adaptation to different environments, in addition to the evolution of specialized organs and feeding modes, some species are distinguished from others by their dentition, which has created arguments about why food is chewed and about the behavior of killing for food, which in turn has also generated changes in the morphology of the jaw, snout and teeth, which includes humans. On the described and other related aspects I comment in the video.
