The front teeth (four front teeth at the top and bottom) were relatively large. The upper incisors, or canines, were large and visible from the outside. The canines were longer, sharper, and much larger in men than in women. The molars (grinding teeth) were large. The grinding teeth had projections on the surface of the mill. The teeth were covered with a thin layer of enamel.
The evolution of modern humans includes the creation of distinctive features of the face and teeth. The teeth are arranged in a circular manner within the jaw. There are no gaps next to the fangs.
The front teeth are now relatively small. The front teeth are slender and vertical. The canine tooth is short (about as long as the other teeth). The canines are relatively straight and similar in size in men and women. The molars (grinding teeth) are smaller. The molars have become relatively flat, with rounded and prominent edges. The teeth are covered with a thick layer of enamel.
