Dental Functional Morphology offers an alternative to the received
wisdom that teeth merely crush, cut, shear or grind food and shows
how teeth adapt to diet. Providing an analysis of tooth action
based on an understanding of how food particles break, it shows how
tooth form from the earliest mammals to modern-day humans can be
understood using very basic considerations about fracture. It
outlines the theoretical basis step by step, explaining the factors
governing tooth shape and size and provides an allometric analysis
that will revolutionize attitudes to the evolution of the human
face and the impact of cooked foods on our dentition. In addition,
the basis of the mechanics behind the fracture of different types
of food, and methods of measurement are given in an easy-to-use
appendix. It will be an important sourcebook for physical
anthropologists, dental and food scientists, palaeontologists and
those interested in feeding ecology.
