Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the story of human dentition from the Silurian period to the age of reptiles through an examination of fossils. The author argues that mammals arose from mammal-like reptiles in the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras, and presents evidence from paleontology and comparative anatomy to support this view. Delving into the evolution of the human dentition, the author draws comparisons between the teeth of mammals and their fish, amphibian, and reptile ancestors, tracing the development of different dental patterns and their adaptation to various diets. The book sheds light on the origins and evolution of the complex molar patterns seen in humans, providing insights into the broader story of human evolution and our place within the natural world.
