Yes, humans have maxillary teeth. The maxillary teeth are the upper teeth in the mouth, located in the upper jawbone (maxilla). These teeth are used for biting, tearing, and chewing food.
Canines are the teeth primarily used for ripping and tearing food. They are pointed and strong, designed to grasp and puncture, making them effective for handling meat and other tough substances. In humans, there are typically four canine teeth—two on the top and two on the bottom.

tearing of food and killing in some cases
Our canine teeth are used for tearing and biting the food. They are very strong and they are either side of our front four teeth. They are used for breaking food down into smaller pierces, it is will be easilier to be digested.
they have sharp teeth, used for tearing flesh of other animals. if they were herbivores, they would have rounder, duller teeth for eating plants. I'm sure there are other reasons why they are carnivores, too, but that's all i know!:) just look at Bethany hamilton!!
Herbivores have flat molars and sharp incisors that are used for grinding and tearing plant material, respectively. Their teeth are adapted to help them chew tough plant fibers and extract nutrients from vegetation. Unlike carnivores, herbivores do not have sharp, pointed teeth for tearing flesh.
