Sažetak
The orofacial complex of Homo sapiens (modern man) have evolved, from the common ancestor of chimpanzee and men to their current form. Various elements like food eaten and the processing of foodstuff by fire and usage of tools have exaggerated this evolution. Correspondingly, the evolution of the oral maxillofacial complex is associated to other anatomical structures such as brain size and bipedal posture and has led to notable changes like the development of speech and language. In this review, the evolution of human jaws and teeth and its impact on the general progression of human evolution is discussed.
