    You may take them for granted, but your teeth are a marvel. They break up all your food over the course of your life, while being strong enough to withstand breakage themselves. How do they do it? Peter S. Ungar traces the evolution of mammalian molars from primitive cone-like structures to the myriad forms of today’s species, from lions to cows to people.
    Lesson by Peter S. Ungar, animation by Cabong Studios.

      Bioglass. Biomin-F, Biomin-C. Now, last I read on these things was the FDA would not allow Sensodyne Repair & Protect with Bioglass in the states because of drug classifications and active ingredients maybe around 2013. This material temporarily binds to your teeth mimicking the enamel layer, sealing over the exposed tubules (I probably used the wrong term).

  • @hophong7789

    This video is really amazing and informative as always. But one thing that bothers me is that it hasn't told us much about how teeth actually evolved as a whole. Before this video there was one about the evolution of the eye which did a better job at elaborating the development of complexity over time. So watching this video about teeth evolving really makes me think about problems like when was the first form of teeth? Or what is the simplest form of teeth found in nature, and in the history of evolution? And how did it gain complexity through time?...

    • @jeffreyepstein9641
      @jeffreyepstein9641 Před rokem +3

      I remember hearing in another video that teeth are one of the unusual evolutionary developments that can’t be pin pointed with our current data, and the current theory is they evolved from scales on the face. Seems far fetched but I remember this being from a source that was mainly educational in nature.
