Presumably, the friction involved in chewing would do the trick.
Unlike most of the body, teeth aren't self-repairing.

Hrmpf. Either it all repairs itself so he can live forever, or

I feel like throwing in that modern humans have some Neanderthal DNA.

That, too. Up to 4% in European and I think middle-eastern descendent. 
From all those docus I have running in the background usually, I am 
certain no Neanderthal genes in African (*) people, but forgot about 
Asian (*), and no idea about American natives.

(*) These days stuff's pretty mixed of course, but this is about those 
great wanderings homo sapiens did some long time ago, spreading over the 
globe.

23andMe tells me that I have more markers than 99% of their customer
base,

Is that some online site for checking your DNA?

which probably puts me around 2% caveman.

Looking at the world, I think we're all 100% cavemen, just with fancy 
tools.

Ok, some are more caveman-wanting-to-wield-club than caveman-drawing-
pictures-on-the-caves.
