PDF-(READ)-Evolution\'s Bite: A Story of Teeth, Diet, and Human Origins

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 Evolutions Bite noted paleoanthropologist Peter Ungar brings together for the first time cuttingedge advances in understanding human evolution and climate change with new approaches to uncovering dietary clues from fossil teeth to present a remarkable investigation into the ways that teeththeir shape chemistry and wearreveal how we came to beUngar describes how a tooths foodprintsdistinctive patterns of microscopic wear and tearprovide telltale details about what an animal actually ate in the past These clues combined with groundbreaking research in paleoclimatology demonstrate how a changing climate altered the food options available to our ancestors what Ungar calls the biospheric buffet When diets change species change and Ungar traces how diet and an unpredictable climate determined who among our ancestors was winnowed out and who survived as well as why we transitioned from the role of forager to farmer By sifting through the evidenceand the scars on our teethUngar makes the important case for what might or might not be the most natural diet for humansTraveling the four corners of the globe and combining scientific breakthroughs with vivid narrative Evolutions Bite presents a unique dental perspective on our astonishing human development.

Forensic Odontology is a branch of forensic medicine which, in the interest of justice, deals with the proper examination, handling and presentation of dental evidence in a court of law.. Forensic odontology is a unique field that combines the skills of a specially trained dentist with those of law enforcement.. The forensic dentist’s primary duty is human identification.. They examine evidence from cases involving violent crime, abuse, missing persons, and disaster scenarios to identify victims or suspects.. Part 1: From ape-like ancestors to modern humans.

Was he our direct ancestor, or was he perhaps a more alien figure, genetically very different? This title brings us into the Neanderthal\'s world, his technology, his way of life, his origins and his relationship with us. Orderly Anarchy delivers a provocative and innovative reexamination of sociopolitical evolution among Native American groups in California, a region known for its wealth of prehistoric languages, populations, and cultural adaptations. Scholars have tended to emphasize the development of social complexity and inequality to explain this diversity. Robert L. Bettinger argues instead that orderly anarchy, the emergence of small, autonomous groups, provided a crucial strategy in social organization. Drawing on ethnographic and archaeological data and evolutionary, economic, and anthropological theory, he shows that these small groups devised diverse solutions to environmental, technological, and social obstacles to the intensified use of resources. This book revises our understanding of how California became the most densely populated landscape in aboriginal North America. Basoya.
