Two-million-year-old teeth transform theory of prehistoric human evolution - ANALYSIS: Changes in the appearance of ancient teeth could act as a new evolutionary marker, writes Ian Towle ...

Tufts University researchers took material from human and pig teeth and were able to grow a tooth-like structure. They hope their findings could lead to growing living tooth replacements for people.

In their latest research, Yelick and Zhang used cells from donated human teeth. And to create a more “natural” scaffold, the team stripped away the cells from the teeth of mini pigs.

Rare microbiomes from two 4000-year-old teeth could help scientists further understand the impact dietary changes had on the evolution of a cavity-causing bacteria.

Putting together the puzzle of human evolution sometimes comes down to about 32 pieces–our teeth.Several fossil teeth dating back 1.77 million years hold some important clues into our ape and ...
