Over millions of years in the fossil record, hominin teeth preserve
a high-fidelity record of their own growth, development, wear,
chemistry and pathology. They yield insights into human evolution
that are difficult, if not impossible, to achieve through other
sources of fossil or archaeological data. Integrating dental
findings with current debates and issues in palaeoanthropology,
this book shows how fossil hominin teeth shed light on the origins
and evolution of our dietary diversity, extended childhoods, long
lifespans, and other fundamental features of human biology. It
assesses methods to interpret different lines of dental evidence,
providing a critical, practical approach that will appeal to
students and researchers in biological anthropology and related
fields such as dental science, oral biology, evolutionary biology,
and palaeontology.
