Teeth Everywhere

The title is perfect for this chapter, “Teeth Everywhere” and in fact they are everywhere. Teeth are the hardest bone in our bodies and in the bodies of animals. Because of that fact teeth are often preserved easier than other bones. Paleontologists love to find teeth because they tell so much about the animal. Teeth show the diet of the animal and the also create an insight to the animals lifestyle. Teeth help discover new connections in this world. Through the design and process of developing teeth other functions of the body are modeled. Feathers, hair, and breasts are some of these developments. Through the discovery of Tritheledonts they found a connection to our teeth with the similar structure. This fossil traces back to the origin of our teeth. Teeth are very important fossils that help create the order in which humans evolved.
