We studied the salivary amylase gene, AMY1, in Indigenous Andean populations and found evidence that high AMY1 copy number rapidly increased in frequency, likely through recent positive selection.

When you see the skull it becomes obvious what involucres are. Also Thylacosmilus teeth never stop growing. There's a good argument for coevolution here with Smilodon (saber tooth cats, in North America) although Smilodon wasn't a polyphyodont.
