Scientific Minds Want To Know
Humans bite stronger than apes
The lightly-built human skull is far more powerful than initially thought, according to research by the University of New South Wales, released today.
This means early modern humans did not necessarily need to use tools and cooking to process high-nutrient hard foods such as nuts.
The study, led by Dr Stephen Wroe of UNSW's school of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, used sophisticated 3D element analysis to compare digital models of CAT-scanned skulls.
