Dental Functional Morphology: How Teeth Work Book

How Teeth Work offers an innovative alternative to the received wisdom that teeth merely crush, cut, shear or grind food, and shows how teeth adapt to diet. It shows how tooth form from the earliest mammals to humans can be understood using basic considerations about how different foods fracture. It outlines the theory step-by-step, providing an allometric analysis explaining the factors governing tooth shape and size. An easy-to-use appendix also provides basic mechanics, together with methods of measurement. It will be essential reading for physical anthropologists, dental and food scientists.Read More
