Summary Introduction

To compare and contrast: The dentition and alimentary canals of carnivores and herbivores.

Introduction: According to the evolutionary study, the vertebrates’ digestive system underwent many modifications associated with diet. During evolution of humans from primates, various changes in diet, dentition, fermentation chambers, alimentary canal, and digestive enzymes have occurred. The dentition assortment is one of the best examples as it is correlated with diet.
