New study of 500 wild primate teeth shows grooves once linked to ancient toothpicks can form naturally, while a common modern dental problem appears uniquely human. #Paleoanthropology #EvolutionaryMedicine #DentalAnthropology www.primatology.net/p/toothpick-...
Toothpick Grooves That Were Never Toothpicks
A survey of 500 primate teeth shows that marks once linked to ancient human hygiene can form naturally, while a common modern dental problem appears nowhere else in the primate lineage
