In order to understand deeply who we are, we must know where we come from. This book therefore highlights, in a truly interdisciplinary fashion, how dentistry and paleoanthropology often intersect and how knowledge about both these subjects overlap. By laying anatomical-functional foundations of our oral system, combining dental and paleoanthropological knowledge, this book offers great value to students and scholars of both disciplines.Religion and Philosophy SeriesBiologyPhilosophyEvolution (Biology)Philosophy of BiologyEvolutionary BiologyBiologyPhilosophy.Evolution (Biology)Philosophy of Biology.Evolutionary Biology.570.1Papini Andrea597216MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911022463703321On the Origin of Human Masticatory Function4431559UNINA
