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.

Not all dogs are the same, of course. Some dog breeds can bite harder than wolves. We selectively bred them for chomp strength.

It’s averaged out, the real values are in a range, they just took the average between them.
