In Evolution's Bite, palaeoanthropologist Peter Ungar offers a compelling account of how the interaction of teeth, diet and environment has shaped human evolution. --Louise Humphrey, Nature The revelation of not only how the science is done, but also what a huge difference a tangential idea such as Ungar's topographic analysis can make, is one of the great delights and strengths of the book. Our mouths are full of history. Evolution's Bite will change forever how you see your early morning smile. --Adrian Barnett, New Scientist Evolution's Bite combines personal anecdotes from Ungar's own career with vivid historical accounts of the work of some of the pioneers in the fields of paleoanthropology, primatology, dental functional anatomy, and paleoclimatology.... Written in an easy-to-read style. --K. Christopher Beard, Science From the start, Mr. Ungar places the evolutionary changes of teeth within the history of scientific discovery. Researchers and their methods have as much presence as the facts they discovered and the hypotheses they developed, providing readers with a short course on the deep science of dental anatomy. --Brian Switek, Wall Street Journal I dug [Evolution's Bite]. Sink your teeth into it. --Steve Mirsky, Scientific American One of CHOICE's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2017
