In your primate anatomy lab, you are shown the mandible (lower jawbone) of a species of primate. While looking at the teeth you notice a large space between the canine and first premolar. In your lab book you note that this A. Is likely the lower jaw of a human, due to the potential presence of a canine-premolar honing complex B. May be a species of Old World monkey or ape, as the space in the teeth of the mandible suggests the presence of a canine-premolar honing complex C. Is likely the lower jaw of a human, given the presence of a nonhoning chewing complex D. May be a species of Old World monkey or ape, as the space in the teeth suggests the presence of a nonhoning chewing complex
