Why the hell is the roof of our mouths so thin? (lemmy.ml)

I ate a too hot omelette and burnt the roof of my mouth again.

Now it feels sensitive and fragile, again.

Why did we as a species, whom are omnivores, develop such thin mouth roofs?

Hippos can crush entire watermelons with their mouths, why didn't we get a tough inner roof.
