Evolution of Teeth
Paper instructions:
Our distant ancestors were jawless, mud-sucking creatures and the evolution of jaws
provided a wealth of potential evolutionary adaptations in food acquisition and
processing. Different kinds of cutting surfaces and “teeth” evolved throughout vertebrate evolution. Develop an essay describing the evolution of teeth that are involved with grabbing, cutting, tearing, holding, grinding, etc. Are you able to describe any pattern to these forms of adaptation?
