Why do so many black people have a gap in their two front teeth?

[QUOTE="Unregistered, post: 2670259"] I'm a dental hygienist and I do agree a lot of African Americans do have a diastema between their two front teeth. I have also noticed many African Americans having very straight teeth without having orthodontics. The reason I have found is that some African Americans have larger/wider jawbones than other races. This would give more room for all the teeth in the dentition to spread out and not have crowding occur! This would explain both the diastema and the straight teeth. :) [/QUOTE]
