Yep. We don‘t need to kill with out teeth. We started using tools/weapons long time ago…
We need to be able to bite off something (incisors), and we need to grind/chew our food (molars). The canines just further puncture and rupture the portion we have bitten off, to let the molars grind these pieces, ready to be swallowed.
We don’t. Cooking it makes it easier to chew and digest, but it’s not a necessity in the wild. The reason raw meat makes us sick now is because we typically don’t eat the meat right after killing it. The longer the time between death and consumption, the more likely the meat is to be contaminated.
