Dental are actually a great way to show this. The diversity of teeth in our mouths are evidence that we evolved to eat an omnivorous diet.

Good that you should mention dentition, given that a plant-based diet causes humans’ teeth to rot out.

Human teeth, like human metabolism, support the consumption of plant material, but not very well.

Interesting - can you share your sources?

I'd like to read more about this.

My teeth have not fallen out yet and my dentist gives an OK after many years on a plant based diet.
