In humans, the molars and premolars are primarily used for cracking nuts due to their broad, flat surfaces designed for grinding and crushing tough foods. These teeth have a larger surface area and stronger roots compared to incisors, making them more effective for dealing with hard objects like nuts. While humans have evolved to have a more varied diet, our molars still reflect adaptations for processing such hard materials.
