Abstract
This paper examines the evidence for the orthodox view that man evolved from a prehominid ancestor with large maxillary canine teeth. Middle Pleistocene hominids with canines larger than those of modern man provide questionable evidence, since those of earlier hominids were smaller. Available fossil evidence supports the view that claims for a large canine in human ancestry have been exaggerated.
