We're always learning something new about human evolution, and this time, ancient teeth can provide some interesting details ...

Small clusters of pits in tooth enamel may be traced back to a single evolutionary lineage millions of years ago.

A groundbreaking study has revealed that prehistoric teeth could provide unexpected clues about human evolution, challenging traditional assumptions about the role of enamel in our ancestors’ lives.

Evidence suggests the tools were used by the human relative Paranthropus, which scientists previously believed relied only on its teeth and jaws to eat. Scientists have unearthed more than 300 ...

Uniform, circular, and shallow pitting on two Paranthropus robustus teeth from Drimolen Main Quarry (Journal of Human Evolution) Uniform, circular and shallow. These pits were first identified in the ...

We looked at fossil teeth from hominins (humans and our closest extinct relatives) from the Omo Valley in Ethiopia, where we ...

The enamel that forms the outer layer of our teeth might seem like an unlikely place to find clues about evolution.

Uniform, circular, and shallow pitting on two Paranthropus robustus teeth from Drimolen Main Quarry (Journal of Human Evolution) Uniform, circular and shallow.

The enamel that forms the outer layer of our teeth might seem like an unlikely place to find clues about evolution. But it tells us more than you'd think about the relationships between our fossil ...

Initially, we thought the pits might be unique to P. robustus. But our latest research shows this kind of pitting also occurs in other Paranthropus species in eastern Africa.
