listen more, see more, talk less. we got enough trouble with one mouth already and we don't use our eyes and ears so much. That's why God gave us 2 ears, 2 eyes but one mouth. Anyway, we have one nose too. Maybe ears and eyes are a pair and mouth and nose are a pair. And, can you control 2 mouths? No one would like to hear you talk even if you can and imagine someone's face with 2 mouths. Hello? There's no more place left for the 2nd mouth. One is just enough and be thankful coz you have one. Why would you need two? And what if you don't have any? Think about that and you'll find the answer by yourself.

cuz 2 ears and 2 eyes are very useful! 2 eyes help us see all around us, while 2 ears help us hear in all directions! We only have one mouth b/c it would be really stupid; if you had 2 mouths u would have to put food in one mouth and food in the other. And we would have to have 2 stomachs.

Couple of answers here, mostly biological in nature...
1. Bilateral symmetry, your left side roughly matches your right, this is coded in your genetics...
2. Stereoscopic hearing and vision, if you were still a "caveman," it would be much easier to locate an enemy or predator if you could determine its position in space, which two eyes and ears help you with...
3. Redundancy: If you lose one, you still have the other to fall back on, especially important when you think about how much we rely on these two senses.
Not to discount the importance of the mouth of course, but if you were to be injured or diseased to the point where you physically "lost" your mouth or jaw, or the ability to use it (save for the miracles of modern medicine,) your survivability compared to "just" losing an eye or ear would be very poor...

I dont think anybody could ever listen to 2 mouths talk from the same head at once. But in certain countries, some babies are born with 2 mouths on one head.
(The same reason we have 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 feet with 10 toes, 2 hands with 8 fingers, and TWO thumbs,and so on)

Evolution has provided us and most other animals raised in our atmosphere to have two ears to discern the direction of a sound, so we could respond in that direction.
We animals also have two eyes to give us binocular vision so we can judge distance, which helps us either to rush toward prey or competiion, or to help gauge how much time we have to flee from a stronger foe.
We only need one mouth, though, since by the time we put food in, we've already determined the distance with our eyes to aim our food correctly to the mouth.
The mouth still has parts in stereo, though. Specialized parts of both sides of our tongues respond to different tastes, like sour, sweet, bitter, and salt. Why those senses would be in stereo, I don't know.

two ears gives us a sense of the direction a sound comes from, two eyes gives us depth perception, one mouth is all is needed for eating and talking. two mouths would take up 3 or 4 times as much space for no reason.

U should really think about that question. And why do we have one nose and one butthole. Lol no pun intended. ok eyes survey enviromental surroundings and ears act as our comms. Humans are so smart they really dont need extra vision and ear enhancement, and with the mouth it has to be simpler. Why have two mouths when u can have one, and still get the job done? And hopefully that answers the butthole question i thru in there. Lol, God might of asked these questions when IT was making us. ;)

We have 2 eyes and 2 ears for survival purposes, and one mouth because we only have one digestive system unless your a Siamese twin then you would have double of everything.
By the way interesting question, I have never thought of that before.

2 eyes allow for depth perception. 1 eye would only allow you to determine what direction something is in.
2 ears allow you to determine where a sound is coming from, while 1 ear would only allow you to determine that a sound exists.
However, we don't need more than one mouth, because the sense of taste is not used in the same way.
