Description
From Atapuerca to the Denisovans, from Egyptian mummies to Neanderthal remains, teeth have left their mark, revealing customs, diets and even the ailments of our ancestors. Over the centuries, they have transcended their natural function to become tools, amulets, jewellery and even trophies. But, above all, they have been a mirror that reflects the evolution of human knowledge. José Ramón Alonso, internationally renowned neuroscientist and histologist, unveils in this book the stories behind each advance and discovery.
Did you know that the ancient Romans used urine as a mouthwash? Or that the first documented case of forensic dentistry was used to identify a Roman noblewoman? That the Mayans inlaid jade into their teeth for aesthetic and ritual reasons? This meticulously researched work interweaves scientific rigour with a narrative that takes us from primitive extractions to digital implantology. We meet the visionaries who transformed the profession, the theories that revolutionised our understanding of oral health and the technological evolution that turned the dreaded “tooth puller” into the modern dentist.
