Aha, good to know!Janne, you are a professional not an academic; professionals have to take themselves seriously at all times.
In Swedish people like me are called ‘akademiker’.
I own a human skull. Brass hinge. Dad had a full skeleton, since his academic days, but he only kept the skull which he gave me.
Humans have weak crests ( for muscle atrachment) but, for example, the M. Masseter ( main chewing muscle) is strong enough to crush your own, perfect teeth.
This if you take a piece if wood, long enough to cover the tree molars and two premolars, on one side, and shaped so you exert the same pressure on all 10 ( 5 upper, 5 lower) teeth.
Do the same on both sides and the muscles are not enough.
This was debated and discussed a lot when I did my post grad. The thinking then was that our teeth have become weaker over time, selective breeding and so on.
To much to tell here.
You see, people sometimes break intact perfect teeth when they sleep and clench or grind.
A dog can not break own teeth only with the muscle power.
It was a part of research into a revolutionary, local antibiotic, treatment for gum disease at my faculty, and research into strength of osseointegration for a couple of Titanium alloys used development of various Brånemark implants.
( I did not participate in this research, but used to feed and take the dogs for walks)
