Why is ther space on your tongue devoted to bitterness?In: Human Anatomy
[Edit categories]
|
Without the capacity to taste things that were bitter or foul-tasting, we would not be able to detect poisons or off food along with things which we are not supposed to consume. However, there are a significant percentage of the human population who cannot taste bitter any more, due to a distinct lack of random poisonous things being consumed and selecting out those without bitter taste buds in recent evolutionary history.
