Evolutionary Changes In The Jaws And Teeth Of Homo Sapiens – In A Nutshell.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Over the course of the evolutionary journey, the emergence of Homo sapiens as a distinct species in the human family is relatively a new thing. The rise of this intellectually superior species also came along with a change in the skeletal and bodily built. Hence, the jaws and dentition of Homo sapiens underwent evolutionary changes. This article points out the distinct features of the jaws and teeth of Homo sapiens (anatomically modern humans). Introduction Modern humans (homo sapiens) are the only remaining human species to survive on our planet. but there was a time when other human species such as the homo erectus, homo neanderthalensis, etcetera also lived on earth. The intellectual superiority of homo sapiens made it possible for the survival of our species into the present time. over the millennia, the body of modern humans continued to evolve due to various factors such as change in the climate, change in diet, change in population density, etcetera. as a result, a change in the architecture of our facial skeleton, jaws and dentition was induced. the evolutionary changes caused the jaws, teeth and crania of modern humans to become gracile, delicate and smaller in comparison with our predecessors.4
