It is so mechanical digestion can occur followed by chemical digestion. If food went directly into your stomach you would be in a world of hurt. The teeth are actually part of the digestive system (one of the 11 major body systems).

I always thought the way flies do it is pretty cool.
As queasy as my stomach has been yo uwould have to bring that up? LOL
Yes, chemical digestion outside the body, first-nice and efficient.

I agree with this. Food entering the stomach directly from the stomach would require a much stronger digestive system and a painful excretionary process. I suppose the mouth could have been on the hand, but that would make the arm complex and weaker in a way. Same with the leg. The butt would make it impossible to see what your eating. The mouth being at the opening where the wind comes in is actually the most efficient place. It is somewhere that is a distance from the stomach, and something that the hands can manipulate food in front of easily. You may choke every once in a while, but that's your fault. Utilize those teeth as much as you have to, and don't breath when there's food in the back of your mouth.

I disagree.
It would be more efficient to have wide nostrils, and allowing breath only through them. No choking, but all the benefits. I beleive the cheetah has this kind of system.
