What teeth can teach us about the evolution of the human speciesWhether we realize it or not, we carry in our mouths the legacy of our evolution. Our teeth are like living fossils that can be studied and compared to those of our ancestors to teach us how we became human. In Evol…
Whether we realize it or not, we carry in our mouths the legacy of our evolution. Our teeth are like living fossils that can be studied and compared to those of our ancestors to teach us how we became human. In Evolution's Bite, noted paleoanthropologist Peter Ungar brings toget…
Ungar describes how a tooth's 'foodprints'--distinctive patterns of microscopic wear and tear--provide telltale details about what an animal actually ate in the past. These clues, combined with groundbreaking research in paleoclimatology, demonstrate how a changing climate alter…

The evolution of non-avian dinosaurs to birds is one of the most significant evolutionary events in the history of life. Microraptorinae, a clade of small, four-winged dromaeosaurs that exhibit both avian and non-avian dinosaurian features, is a fossil group important to this tr…
This thesis presents an expanded bioarchaeological perspective to quantitative analyses of dental caries in the remains of 1842 ancient Egyptians and Nubians. The skeletal samples came from 17 Egyptian and 15 Nubian cemeteries, are represented by both sexes, and spanned a period…
Simple text and illustrations demonstrate what teeth are supposed to be used for instead of biting.
