We are omnivores and do a lot of chewing. Dogs don't really chew, just rip.

Some great apes that have more raw plants in their diet even have a bony ridge on their skull that the jaw muscles attach to.

Our jaws actually have great leverage, our molars are very close to where the jaw muscle attaches.
