Saw this Homo ergaster at the museum today and couldn’t stop thinking about how much our jaws have changed through time. We’ve gone from strong, wide jaws that easily fit all our teeth to modern faces where we often struggle to make room for 4–8 of them.
It’s wild to realize how lifestyle, diet, and even the way we breathe have shaped us over time. Sometimes I wonder if having truly healthy airways might mean looking back — reconnecting with the natural development we once had, where the structure of our jaws supported not just our teeth, but our overall health and breathing.
Evolution doesn’t always move in one direction; sometimes it invites us to pause and reflect on what we may have lost along the way.
