Description

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. InEvolution's Bite, noted paleoanthropologist Peter Ungar brings together for the first time cutting-edge advances in understanding human evolution with new approaches to uncovering dietary clues from fossil teeth. The result is a remarkable investigation into the ways that teeth--their shape, chemistry, and wear--reveal how we came to be. Traveling the four corners of the globe and combining scientific breakthroughs with vivid narrative,Evolution's Bitepresents a unique dental perspective on our astonishing human development.
